TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF DURING PREGNANCY: EXERCISE
Feel free to continue any physical exercise that you enjoyed before becoming pregnant. However, moderation is in order. This is not a good time to train for a marathon or begin an even moderately strenuous aerobics class. Skydiving and scuba diving are also not safe during pregnancy. In many parts of the country, there are now exercise classes especially designed for pregnant women. Because of the ability of the fetus to preferentially obtain an adequate blood supply, some of your physical reserves for strenuous exercise may be lost during pregnancy. Consequently, you may tire more quickly and feel faint, particularly at high altitudes. Basically, your body will tell you when to stop. You should also use your own judgment about certain types of physical exercise that involve the possibility of abdominal injury—for instance, skiing and hockey.
