When to stop exercising during pregnancy?

Question

I've been trying to stay active during my pregnancy, but I'm wondering if there's a point when I should stop or reduce my exercise routine. What did your doctors advise?

I'm in my second trimester and already feeling scared to even walk too fast. Does anyone else feel super anxious about exercising harming the baby?

Please check with your gynac before doing any physical activity in the third trimester. Every pregnancy is unique, and you shouldn't take any risks without medical clearance.

You can usually stay active until your due date, but keeping your doctor in the loop is essential. If you experience any pain or leakage, stop immediately and contact your clinic.

My doctor told me that moderate exercise like walking can be continued till the very end if there are no complications. However, you must immediately stop if you feel dizzy, have shortness of breath, or see any spotting.

I am currently in my 7th month and still doing light stretching, but I'm getting tired faster now. Are you guys also stopping completely in the third trimester or continuing?

I only did light prenatal yoga and walking because my doctor gave me a strict go-ahead. If you feel any pelvic pressure or heavy fatigue, it's best to stop and just rest.
