EXERCISE DURING PREGNANCY

Ask your doctor to give you guidelines concerning exercise.

Regular moderate, low-impact exercise can benefit you and your baby. Limit the amount of vigorous exercise because it may increase your core body temperature above a level that is healthy for your baby. Make sure you drink plenty of water during exercise.

Benefits:

• Improves and maintains overall muscle tone
• Increases blood circulation and therefore your oxygen supply throughout the body
