I want to stay active during my pregnancy, but I'm not sure how much walking is considered safe and beneficial. How much walking should I do daily, and are there any limits I should be aware of?
You are doing such an amazing job taking care of yourself! In my pregnancy, a peaceful 30-minute evening walk was my favorite escape, but please only do what feels comfortable for you. Hugs to you!
I recently delivered and walked for about 20-30 minutes daily at a very slow pace. It kept me active and helped with my delivery, but I never pushed myself if I felt tired.
Having lost a pregnancy before, I was extremely scared of any physical activity. My doctor told me only to start gentle 15-minute walks in my second trimester, so please ask your gynac first and listen to your body.
I love staying active, but I only started my prenatal yoga and 30-minute daily walks after my gynac gave me a green light at 12 weeks. Always confirm with your doctor if you have any complications or placenta issues first.
