what kind of exercise is useful during pregnancy to make the journey easy and potentially improve chances of normal delivery

Question

Looking for guidance on the exercises to conduct during my first pregnancy? I am over 35 and want to make every effort to have a natural delivery. Any other recommendation?

Answer

I was pretty active before pregnancy but morning sickness slowed me down a LOT so once I started feeling better I kept it simple with walking and swimming.

Answer

I've been walking daily and doing yoga. Breathing exercises are great and the walking definitely helps loosen my hips. I was a runner before getting pregnant and I've noticed tightness in my hips and back so the yoga helps me to relax that too ☺️ hoping for a natural water birth. Good luck sweetie!

Answer

Prenatal Yoga! Also lots of walks.

Answer

Any exercise at all will help. Just dont start any new exercises like running for example, if you aren't already used to it. If you want to start exercising, walking, swimming, and aqua aerobics are all good starters.

Answer

Personallu, I feel like it's not the time to start something super new like running, if you haven't already. But keep doing whatever you're doing if you've been doing it prior. They say that yoga and walking are 100% okay to begin fresh though. I feel like swimming would be okay to start as well. Best wishes mama!❤️❤️
