Exercises targeting the pelvic floor can help strengthen these muscles
Your ability to adjust to your shifting form and weight gain during pregnancy will be facilitated by increased physical activity and fitness levels. It will also make labour easier for you to handle. For as long as it feels comfortable, continue with your regular daily physical activity or exercise regimen, such as sports, jogging, yoga, dancing, or even just strolling to and from the stores.
Your infant is not at risk from exercise. Research suggests that women who are physically active have a lower risk of complications throughout their later pregnancy and birth. There are numerous advantages to prenatal exercise, ranging from lowering back pain to encouraging healthy weight gain during pregnancy.
