Exercise in Pregnancy: Episode #168
Manage episode 467206982 series 2940469
Exercise during pregnancy is highly beneficial for both the mother and baby, promoting cardiovascular health, reducing the risk of gestational diabetes, improving mood, and aiding in better sleep. Moderate-intensity activities like walking, swimming, prenatal yoga, and strength training can help maintain fitness while reducing discomforts such as back pain and swelling.
Regular movement also supports endurance and flexibility, which can be helpful during labor and delivery. However, it’s essential to listen to the body, stay hydrated, and avoid high-impact or risky activities. Consulting a healthcare provider before starting or modifying an exercise routine ensures safety, especially for those with high-risk pregnancies. Tune in to what Dr. Yaakov Abdelhak and midwife Mallon have to say.
