Fitness While Pregnant - Is It Safe?
For many years it was believed that once a woman became pregnant
she should just lounge on the couch and rest for hours on end,
each and every day. After numerous clinical studies it was found
that most women should do quite the opposite.
In most cases, women should continue with their daily routines,
and if they are not doing so already, they should begin a
regular daily fitness regimen.
It has been found that exercising during pregnancy has numerous
beneficial effects. Exercising will give you more energy and
stamina, increase your confidence, and give you the extra
strength you need for delivering your newborn.
A daily fitness regimen performed by the mother-to-be during
pregnancy has also been found to produce a healthier and
stronger baby.
An added bonus for those of you dreading those long hours of
child labor is that regular exercise during pregnancy has been
known to reduce the time frame for this process by about a
third. This in itself is a great motivating factor, since every
hour spent in labor can seem like a much longer period of time.
While exercise will undoubtedly help you obtain all these
wonderful benefits, there are some guidelines you should follow:
Always consult our physician before beginning any diet and/or
exercise regimen. This is to ensure you will be able to do this
without causing harm to yourself and your recovering body.
Always start out slowly. Try several activities and do not
attempt to perform very strenuous exercises or spend too much
time at the gym. Find some exercises or
activities you like and
enjoy and do them regularly, but try not to exceed more than 30
minutes at a time. If you begin to feel exerted or worn out,
stop exercising immediately and rest for a while. The whole
purpose of exercising is to help maintain good health and self
esteem, not injure or endanger yourself or your unborn.
Avoid high altitudes, extreme humidity, or especially warm
temperatures when exercising. Getting overheated is not
beneficial to you or our baby, and it could actually cause harm.
Be sure you drink plenty of water and keep yourself hydrated.
Monitor your heart rate, your breathing, and your pulse. This
will allow you to observe your progress and notice any
limitations you may need to be aware of. Knowing this
information and making a note of it while exercising could
assist your physician in diagnosing any problems or potential
hazards you may face.
While you are in your final trimester, try to avoid any
bouncing, jumping, or running. These activities can potentially
cause injury to you or your unborn child.
Pregnancy causes many changes for any woman, physically,
mentally, and emotionally. Be sure you communicate openly with
your partner and your doctor. Keep all of your limitations in
mind and never try to exercise more than is reasonable for your
stage of pregnancy.
