Pregnancy and sporten fact, everything depends on the term of your pregnancy. In the first quarter, you can pretty much everything you can. After, be a little more cautious. If you have never done any sport, it is certainly not the time to decide either to get started intensively in order to maintain an illusion of a silhouette as smooth as possible. Useless and dangerous!
However, if you were accustomed to physical activity, you can still do it at least provided that:
* It is not too violent;
* You do not submit a medical problem;
* Your doctor agrees.
The recommended sports ...
Sports activities are promoted among all the walking and swimming. Walking because it can be practiced, including the less athletic, throughout pregnancy. Swimming because it is very relaxing, increases cardiac capacity and is not accompanied by the onset of joint pain. Courses for pregnant women are also often offered in public swimming pools and you may advise the backstroke.
Gymnastics "soft" is also possible and may be associated with childbirth preparation. If you want to do some "gym", but prefer sessions of twenty minutes two to three times per week rather than over an hour and, at home, remember to warm up some minutes before starting your exercises. Avoid stretching, however violent. Indeed, ligaments tend to loosen during pregnancy.
