What are some generally safe exercises to do while pregnant???

Question

I'm a fairly active person, but haven't exercised since I've become pregnant, since I haven't been feeling well. My daily exercise to me is walking around at work, and that alone makes me feel like I've done about 5 laps...😊😊 any thoughts??...thanks

Answer

Everything with the exception of contact sports should be safe while pregnant. I would stay away from crunches with my first pregnancy just because it felt funny and made me nervous. I had stopped exercising prepregnancy this time around but I need to start at least walking a few miles 3x a week. Being in shape helps the pregnancy exponentially, especially in the end. I swam a ton (well, floated like a buoy) last time in the last trimester and that helped with swelling AND with hating my life. :)

Answer

Some doctors say if you aren't or weren't participating in a regular exercise plan before becoming pregnant that it's best to avoid it during your pregnancy. Since your taken some time off I would talk to your doctor before getting into anything because it may put undue stress on your body which could hurt baby.
