Throughout pregnancy it is important to stay fit and active, but there are recommendations around what exercise is best, how hard to work out and when to continue or cease certain sports and training types.
This week on The Expert Guide to Parenthood podcast we ask Obstetrician Expert Dr Peter Jurcevic for his advice on how to safely stay fit and healthy during pregnancy, and what some of the fitness/activity considerations might be.
We discuss:
- The benefits of being fit and healthy through pregnancy
- The general rules about exercise in pregnancy, through each trimester
- What exercises are considered safe and what type of exercises should be avoided
- Why can it be dangerous to elevate your heart rate too high when pregnant
- How to determine how hard to work out and when to back off
- When should pregnant women stop playing team sports
- Are contact sports OK to play when pregnant
- Is weight training OK to continue when pregnant
- Can pregnancy and birth affect future fitness
