| Exercise in Pregnancy | |
| Maintaining a regular exercise routine during pregnancy will help relieve some of the common discomforts of pregnancy, (such as backache and constipation), relieve stress, and will help you feel your best. There is also evidence that it may help prevent gestational diabetes. Before starting an exercise routine, discuss it with your physician, even if you were active before becoming pregnant. 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 incompetent cervix should not exercise. | |
