\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Many pregnant women wonder if physical activity is possible. It is entirely possible to make sport during pregnancy<\/a> to take care of yourself and pay attention to your health. This is even recommended by health professionals to improve circulation and lung capacity. You are pregnant after all, not sick! However, it is advisable to practice a suitable activity, aquabiking <\/a>For example !\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Before taking the plunge, it is important to talk to your gynecologist or doctor. Indeed, each pregnancy is unique and requires special attention. There may be contraindications to physical practice in very specific cases: opening of the cervix, high blood pressure, shortness of breath, etc. Sports activities that could result in injuries or falls are unsuitable and therefore not recommended. Having fun during your session and connecting with other mothers-to-be is the main thing!<\/span><\/p>

Playing a sport can even be beneficial to pregnancy<\/a>. During a yoga class, for example, you become more flexible, you gently strengthen your muscles and you learn to breathe in a way that opens your rib cage to free up space for your child. And yes, baby also feels the benefits of the session, so don't hesitate any longer and get started!<\/span><\/p>

However, it is safer to wait until the 3rd month of pregnancy to start or resume physical activity in order to avoid the risk of miscarriage.<\/span><\/p>

A gentle and regular sporting activity improves the metabolism while allowing you to keep your spirits up, relieve your daily worries and prepare the body for childbirth!<\/span><\/p>

Why practice an activity during pregnancy?<\/b><\/h2>

Exercising during pregnancy helps both the pregnant woman and the baby maintain good health. Medium-intensity physical activities improve oxygen exchanges between the mother-to-be and her child. Sport reduces lower back pain, the risk of gestational diabetes and hypertension, maintains muscle mass and improves sleep and blood circulation.<\/span><\/p>

It is recommended during pregnancy to practice gentle activity at moderate intensity, favoring the practice of aerobic sports. That is to say, those which allow the body to obtain sufficient oxygen. Examples of aerobic sports include walking, swimming, aerobic dancing without jumping, exercise cycling, gentle gymnastics, stretching and aqua aerobics.<\/span><\/p>

In addition, pregnancy overworks the muscles, ligaments and joints, creating lower back, abdominal and cervical pain on the one hand, and pain in the hips and pelvis on the other. Sport allows you to mobilize these different parts, making them more mobile and therefore less painful.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

At what pace should you train?<\/b><\/h3>

The pace depends on whether you were sporty before your pregnancy. The most important thing is to train regularly and without forcing yourself too hard. We advise you to carry out one or two sessions per week to start.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

If you are not into exercise, focus on walking for at least 30 minutes per day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The main thing, especially during pregnancy, is to listen to your body. At the slightest sign of fatigue or pain, you will need to stop and rest.<\/span><\/p>
