I was advised to do very light 15-minute walks in my society park. It really helped my blood circulation and made my post-C-section recovery a bit easier later on.

Hamare yahan toh kehte hain ki subah-shyam thoda thoda ghumna accha hota hai. Aap 20 minute subah aur 20 minute shaam ko dheere-dheere chalo, par thakna nahi chahiye.

Yaar, actually starting with just 15 minutes is best if you aren't used to it. You can slowly increase it to 30 minutes, but please get a green light from your gynac first.

After my IVF cycle, I was very scared to do any activity. My doctor allowed only very gentle 10-15 minute evening walks. Please ask your doctor what limit is safe for your specific body.

I used to walk for about 20-30 minutes daily at a very gentle pace. Don't push yourself too hard, just listen to your body and stop immediately if you feel tired or breathless.

A 30-minute brisk walk is perfect if your pregnancy is uncomplicated. Just don't overdo it in the hot weather and keep a water bottle with you always.

Ramya Tripathy · Answer

Agree with the 30-minute daily walk advice. Just make sure you are wearing highly supportive and comfortable footwear.
