Less back pain, more energy, a better body feeling and faster recovery after childbirth — regular exercise can have a positive effect on the course of pregnancy. In addition, specific pregnancy exercises can help maintain your fitness and prevent excess weight gain.
Before you start: Avoid movements that make you feel unstable and that could increase your risk of falling, or if you generally don’t feel like it. Also, make sure not to push your limits and drink enough fluids.
