Simple Movement During Pregnancy
Movement is vital for our wellbeing, and also super important during pregnancy! But there are many ways you can incorporate gentle movement into your life - this doesn't have to be intense and stressful!
Here are just a few great benefits to movement during pregnancy...
- Provides stress relief
- A great tool for general pain relief
- Creates a better space for baby to position optimally
- Lowers blood pressure and can help treat and prevent pregnancy complications from constipation to gestational diabetes
- Promotes better circulation
Note: Although the general rule of "continue what you did before pregnancy" applies, if you feel a lot of discomfort during an exercise, or the exercise poses a risk to your abdomen/baby (such as soccer, scuba, horseback riding, etc.), find another safe and comfortable form of exercise and check in with your provider if anything ever feels "off"!
