In the early weeks, it is best to take it easy. Get your routine thyroid and other blood tests done first, and ask your doctor what level of exercise is safe for you.

Haan, heavy cardio bilkul mat karo abhi. First few weeks are very critical, na. Light walking is more than enough.

Hansika Majumdar · Answer

I only did gentle walking and mild yoga after my gynac allowed it. Heavy cardio in the first week might raise your body temperature too much, so please ask your doctor.

Beta, the first few weeks are very delicate. Don't do heavy running or cardio. Just do light walking and eat healthy ghar ka khana.

Those early days are so fragile and precious. I would suggest completely avoiding cardio and just resting until your doctor says it's okay.

I panicked because I did jumping exercises before realizing I was pregnant! But my doctor said normal movement is fine, just avoid heavy cardio from now on.

Madhu Behera · Answer

I felt so protective of my baby in the first week that I stopped all heavy cardio. It made me feel much safer to just go for easy evening walks.

It is better to avoid intense cardio right now. Stick to slow walking and rest until you consult your gynac.

Antara Rana · Answer

If your body is already used to cardio, low-intensity is fine. But don't start any heavy new workouts now. Ask your doctor first.

High-intensity cardio isn't recommended when the embryo is trying to implant. Switch to low-impact walking and check with your doctor.
