Many times when women are expecting they are under the misconception that they can eat all they want and slack off on their exercise. Researchers have found that this can be dangerous to both the mom and baby's health. To take special care of both yourself and your baby it is extremely important that you start a healthy diet plan and get daily exercise during pregnancy.
So what's wrong with no exercise during pregnancy? Because of the extra weight gain your body becomes a little off balance. This and the position on the fetus can place a lot of stress on your back. By strengthening you back muscles through exercise, you can prevent a great deal of back pain. Another problem with being too stationery during pregnancy is that you can gain too much weight and gain too quickly. Doctors recommend that you not gain any weight during the first trimester. During the second and third trimester you should gain about a pound per week. By gaining more than the recommended amount it can cause cardiovascular health problems for you and the baby.
Getting too much exercise during pregnancy can also be harmful for you and your baby. Over-exercising puts too much strain on your body. Since a woman's ligaments become more fragile during pregnancy in order to adjust to a growing body and the growth of a fetus, added strain can cause you to severely injure your body. Exercising too much can also make it more difficult for the baby to develop properly. Sometimes a miscarriage can even occur since the baby's develop is hindered so much.
So how do I know how much to exercise during pregnancy? Basically getting a good twenty minutes of exercise in each day should be sufficient for keeping mom and baby healthy. You can exercise more than this, but you must be careful about the type of exercise that you are doing. Walking, swimming, and yoga are the best types of exercise during pregnancy. You must avoid anything that involves bouncing, getting your heart rate up too high, or the possibility of falling. Non-contact sports are okay to continue with as long as you don't overexert yourself and you are extremely careful with your body. If you enjoy jogging, this is great to continue. But remember that you shouldn't jog more than two miles per day during pregnancy.
So if you are planning on becoming pregnant or you are already pregnant, begin an exercise routine right away. Safe exercise during pregnancy is the perfect way to keep you and baby healthy. Since a proper diet is also very important, talk to your doctor or a nutritionist on how to have a healthy diet for the expectant months.
