Some tips from Dr. Leah Adkins
Pregnancy is an ideal time for maintaining or adopting a healthy lifestyle and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists encourages women with normal pregnancies to engage in aerobic and strength-conditioning exercises before, during, and after pregnancy. Most pregnant patients can exercise and should consult their OB/GYN about whether (or how) to adjust their physical activity.
Exercise during and after pregnancy has been shown to decrease:
● gestationaldiabetes
● highbloodpressure
● excessiveweightgain
● cesareanbirth
● postpartumrecoverytime
● postpartumdepression
Concerns that regular physical activity during pregnancy may cause miscarriage, poor fetal growth, musculoskeletal injury, or premature delivery have not been substantiated for women with uncomplicated pregnancies.
Things to remember:
● aimfor30-60minutesmostdaysoftheweek
● aimforlessthan60-80%ofyourage-predictedmaximumheartrate
● staywellhydrated
● wearloose-fittingclothing
● avoidhighheatandhumidity
● avoidlyingflatonyourbackforlongperiodsoftime
● avoidhigh-impactactivitieswithhighriskofabdominaltrauma
Warning signs to stop exercising while pregnant:
● Vaginalbleeding
● Abdominalpain
● Regularpainfulcontractions
● Amnioticfluidleakage
● Troublebreathing
● Dizziness
● Headache
● Chestpain

● Muscleweaknessaffectingbalance
● Calfpainorswelling
Exercising after delivery is important in supporting lifelong healthy habits. Your OB/GYN will let you know when to gradually resume exercise after your delivery. Breastfeeding moms may want to nurse or pump before exercising to avoid engorgement and should hydrate adequately.
