im in my 3rd month and feeling okay mostly, just want to stay a bit active. saas says rest more but i feel like a short walk would help. is daily walking fine at this stage?
I'm also planning my pregnancy and keep wondering about this. Is a slow 15-minute walk safe, or do we have to avoid stair climbing and walking completely in the first trimester?
Even though walking is generally good, the 3rd month is still a very sensitive time. Please check with your gynac first to ensure you have no complications like low-lying placenta.
Yes, slow and gentle walking is actually wonderful for your blood circulation. Just make sure you don't over-exhaust yourself, wear comfortable shoes, and stay hydrated.
When I was in my first trimester, my doctor at Fortis clearly advised me to walk for 20 minutes daily. But they also had a physiotherapist guide me on my pace, so do ask your hospital team.
