Exercise?

Question

Anybody have any suggestions about what exercises we can do? Ill be 32 weeks on Tuesday and been a stay at home mom really haven’t done to much this pregnancy. I know squats is one but what else to open up hips and pelvis? Also a polyhydramnios pregnancy

Answer

If you haven’t been active most of the pregnancy, it’s not a good time to start doing a ton of physical and demanding stuff. Squats to a bench, chair or couch are good. Light curls, press, fly with dumbbell can be ok. Prenatal yoga is another good option as well as walks and even turning up some music and dancing.

Answer

I started doing prenatal yoga online to stretch and strengthen. Mine is a paid app (“Glo”) but there are likely many free on YouTube!

Answer

I would check to see what your doctor recommends especially if you have a polyhydramnios pregnancy.

Answer

Dont start going workout crazy during pregnancy  if you haven't  been super active. I personally was very active even all the way up to about 27 weeks vit now over 30 weeks i take it slow. Walking (incline is great if you can) really good for the whole body. Light seated dumbbell workouts for toning arms. Assisted squats (hold onto a door knob and squat). bend leg tricep dips. Side lying leg lifts. Standing side crunches. 
All these are great  to feel active without straining. I also like to add in some of these to my chores. My husband  laughs but laundry  squats are killer 😂

Answer

My doctor recommended just going on walks if I couldn't make it to the gym. I started my pregnancy working out and my workout partner got pregnant and had horrible morning sickness so we kinda just quit going.
