Regular physical activity can help you adapt to the changes happening to your body, support your overall wellbeing and prepare your body for labour. ๐โโ๏ธ
If your pregnancy is uncomplicated, you can usually continue with your normal daily physical activity or exercise for as long as you feel comfortable. Activities such as walking, swimming and pregnancy-friendly exercise can all be great ways to keep moving. ๐ถโโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ

โข Always warm up before exercising and cool down afterwards.
โข Keep well hydrated, particularly during warmer weather. ๐ง
โข Avoid exercising in very hot conditions.
โข Don't exhaust yourself โ you should still be able to hold a conversation while exercising.
โข Avoid activities where there's a risk of falling or being hit.
โข After 16 weeks, avoid exercising while lying flat on your back for long periods.
If you weren't active before pregnancy, don't suddenly begin strenuous exercise. Start gently and build up gradually. ๐
Every pregnancy is different, so speak to your midwife or healthcare professional if you're unsure which activities are suitable for you. ๐
