I'm thinking about starting prenatal yoga to stay active during my pregnancy. Is pregnancy yoga generally considered safe for both mom and baby? Are there any specific things I should look out for?
My little one is a toddler now and so active, but I still feel the strength I got from prenatal yoga helped me recover so much faster postpartum. Definitely try it if your health allows, it's a blessing.
Yes, it's totally safe and actually highly recommended for a smooth delivery. I did prenatal yoga till my 8th month under a proper instructor and it helped immensely with back pain.
I panicked so much in my first trimester thinking even a slight stretch would harm the baby. But later I realized gentle yoga is actually so good for blood flow. Don't worry, just start slowly after your doctor says ok.
I was so terrified of doing any wrong pose that could hurt the baby, literally googled every single stretch. If you are anxious like me, just stick to simple breathing exercises and very basic stretches after talking to your gynac.
Haha, pregnancy yoga sounds great but honestly, now that my baby is keeping me awake all night, sleep is my only yoga. Do it if you have the energy, but listen to your body and don't push yourself!
