Second trimester chal raha hai and i want to stay active but scared of doing the wrong thing. Which exercises are actually safe? would love to know what u all did.
I mostly stuck to gentle walking and some prenatal yoga during my pregnancy. It was really good for keeping my energy up and for flexibility. Just make sure whatever you do, it feels comfortable and you're not pushing yourself too hard. Listen to your body, always.
Because I had some complications, my doctor was very strict about my activity levels. I would strongly recommend discussing any exercise plan with your gynac first. What's safe for one person might not be for another, especially if you have an underlying condition.
Oh, there are so many good resources for this! I used a pregnancy app, 'BabyCenter' actually, and it had a whole section on safe exercises. Walking, swimming, and prenatal yoga are usually recommended. You can also find guided prenatal workouts there. It really helped me stay active.
Beta, staying active is good, but you need to be very careful. Gentle walking is always a safe bet. You can also try swimming or specific prenatal yoga classes, but make sure the instructor is certified for pregnancy. Just don't do anything that makes you feel breathless or uncomfortable, okay?
I'm in my second trimester now, and my gynac suggested brisk walking for 30 mins daily. I also started some basic stretches. Is anyone doing any other specific exercises that are good for pelvic strength? I want to make sure I'm doing all I can for an easier delivery.
