[cs_content][cs_element_section _id=”1″ ][cs_element_layout_row _id=”2″ ][cs_element_layout_column _id=”3″ ][cs_element_text _id=”4″ ][cs_content_seo]For most pregnant people, the answer is yes if your doctor or midwife allows it.
If your doctor or midwife says yes, try to exercise about 2 ½ hours every week. That’s about 30 minutes a day.
If 30 minutes feels like too much, you can break it up during the day. Going on three ten-minute walks per day is fine.
You should still be able to talk while you work out. If you can’t breathe, you’re pushing too hard. Good activities are:
A fast walk
Swimming
Riding an exercise bike
Lifting light weights
Prenatal yoga
Some people should not work out while pregnant. It’s very important to ask your doctor or midwife if it’s okay for you to exercise.\n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_layout_column][cs_element_layout_column _id=”5″ ][cs_element_image _id=”6″ ][/cs_element_layout_column][/cs_element_layout_row][/cs_element_section][cs_element_section _id=”7″ ][cs_element_layout_row _id=”8″ ][cs_element_layout_column _id=”9″ ][cs_element_text _id=”10″ ][cs_content_seo]Have more questions?\n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_layout_column][/cs_element_layout_row][cs_element_layout_row _id=”11″ ][cs_element_layout_column _id=”12″ ][cs_element_button _id=”13″ ][cs_content_seo]Return to library\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_button _id=”14″ ][cs_content_seo]Call your Pacify doula\n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_layout_column][/cs_element_layout_row][cs_element_layout_row _id=”15″ ][cs_element_layout_column _id=”16″ ][cs_element_text _id=”17″ ][cs_content_seo]Sources: ACOG, Mayo Clinic, March of Dimes\n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_layout_column][/cs_element_layout_row][/cs_element_section][/cs_content]
