Physical Activity During Pregnancy

If uterine activity is certainly accelerated during exercise and in particular the approach to delivery, these risks have never been clearly demonstrated. Quite the opposite: a pregnancy without particular disorder, the physical activity is reasonably good. It allows the mother to prepare for this physical ordeal that is childbirth, boosting its cardiac activity and respiratory control and reducing the pain of contractions. The sport also promotes blood circulation and transit, thereby reducing the risk of venous complications.

With regular exercise, the mother improves his posture in maintaining the tone of his muscles and avoiding cramping and back pain. Another positive: physical activity prevents excessive weight gain, facilitating even the loss of excess weight faster especially for breastfeeding women. Finally, during exercise, the brain releases chemicals that act positively on the morale and confidence, greatly reducing the risk of postnatal depression.
