I normally do light yoga in the morning and we are trying for baby now. I dont want to stop everything unnecessarily, but I also dont want to affect chances. Did anyone continue yoga while planning?
Totally safe! In fact, many gynacs recommend gentle yoga or light exercise when you're trying to conceive. It helps with stress reduction and overall well-being, which is great for fertility. Just make sure it's not high-intensity power yoga, stick to prenatal or restorative styles.
Yes, absolutely safe, and often encouraged by doctors! My gynac specifically advised me to continue with gentle yoga or even start it while trying to conceive. She mentioned it helps manage stress, improves blood circulation to the reproductive organs, and prepares your body for pregnancy. Just ensure you're not doing any inversions or very intense core work, and always inform your instructor you're trying to conceive.
Oh, yoga sounds lovely right now! When I was trying, I was so sick with morning sickness even before I knew I was pregnant, haha. But yes, generally gentle yoga is perfectly fine and even beneficial. Jus listen to your body and avoid anything too strenuous or poses dat put pressure on your abdomen. It really helps with stress too.
I'm also planning pregnancy and was thinking the same thing about yoga! I heard it's good for circulation and relaxing the body, which sounds positive. I guess we just need to avoid very intense twists or inversions, right? It feels good to stay active during this time.
