Exercise during pregnancy is safe and highly beneficial for most women, helping manage weight gain, improve mood, boost energy, and support overall physical health.
Regular activity can also prepare the body for labor and reduce the risk of complications such as gestational diabetes and cesarean delivery.
According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), most pregnant women should aim for moderate-intensity exercise, defined as activity during which you can still hold a conversation.
Exercise routines should be tailored to a woman’s pre-pregnancy fitness level and adjusted as pregnancy progresses.
ACOG emphasizes the importance of checking with a healthcare provider before starting or continuing an exercise program to ensure safety for both mother and baby.
