Exercise and Pregnancy
Should y
ou exercise when you're pregnantlinks? The answer is yes, providing you have no medical conditions that would make it dangerous.

According to an article in the Jamaica Gleaner:
A study carried out by Dr. Clapp, involving 500 pregnant women, revealed that those who were involved in exercise delivered a healthier baby with a stronger foetal heart rate. Even more fascinating is the fact that of the women who exercised, their time spent in labour was shortened by one-third with 65 per cent of the women delivering in four hours or less.

The Daily Tiffin Pinboard tells us:
Exercising during pregnancy has so many benefits: it helps you manage the daily aches and pains of your ever changing body, it helps prepare you for the big day when you finally get to meet your baby, and it gets you ready for the rest of your life as a mom.

So check with your doctor, and if he gives you the go-ahead, get going and exercies. You and your baby will be better off for it.
