| May I exercise safely during pregnancy? | |
| Yes. Low impact aerobics, swimming and walking are usually considered to be safe. Your heart rate should not exceed 120 beats per minute. Always check with your obstetrician before starting an exercise program during pregnancy. Your doctor will be able to provide you with guidelines for exercise based on your current condition and your medical history. Patients with bleeding or spotting, a low lying placenta or placenta previa, threatened or recurrent miscarriages, previous premature births, a history of early labor, or a weak or imcompetent cervix should not exercise. | |
