Benefits of routine physical activity both from a physical and mental point of view are now well known. Pregnancy <\/strong>in itself is not a condition in which physical activity is not possible<\/strong> as is often believed. In fact, there are numerous bene\ufb01ts<\/strong>; it will help you live your pregnancy better and prevent those common discomforts of fatigue and back pain.<\/p>\n

If you were used to doing some exercise or sports before your pregnancy, you can continue, with proper care, during your pregnancy. If, on the other hand, you have always led a rather sedentary life, it is better to start dedicating some time to physical activity, with moderation.<\/p>\n

Regular exercise is really beneficial<\/strong>: it strengthens muscles and increases stamina (which is good training in preparation for birth), improves mobility, has a positive effect on metabolism and circulation (e.g. blood pressure and digestion), reduces the risk of gestational diabetes, prevents back pain and promotes general well-being.<\/p>\n

Practising physical activity on a regular basis will also help you to better control your weight and to allow your body to recover after birth in a shorter time<\/strong>. Specific pelvic floor exercises are a good prevention for possible incontinence problems.<\/p>\n

Tips for physical activity during pregnancy<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Exercise 30 minutes a day<\/strong>, even longer if you feel up to it. However, avoid excessive strain during pregnancy and in the first weeks after delivery.<\/p>\n

– All physical activities that do not pose a particular risk of falls, impacts or injuries are suitable. For example, swimming, walking, water aerobics, cycling, Pilates and yoga<\/strong> are all good.<\/p>\n

– Try to move around a little more during the day<\/strong>: take the stairs instead of using the escalator or lift, go shopping walking without carrying too much weight, use the bicycle, take a break at the office to do some relaxation exercises, etc.<\/p>\n

– Sign up for a gymnastics\/yoga\/Pilates class for pregnant or post-natal women<\/strong>. Exercising together is even more fun!<\/p>\n

– Arrange with a friend or your partner<\/strong> to do some exercise together.<\/p>\n

– Exercising outdoors is a real cure-all<\/strong>: it allows you to enjoy the fresh air and, on sunny days, it stimulates vitamin D production.<\/p>\n

If you have any particular discomfort, it is always best to talk to your doctor first or you can consult an osteopath for specific problems. Osteopathy can be a good solution to all those aches and pains that occur during pregnancy, as it promotes a more functional adaptation of the entire body to the physiological changes occurring during pregnancy.<\/p>\n
