Pregnancy is an opportune time for women to modify their health behaviors. Engaging in healthy behaviors such as physical activity, will positively impact the mother's pregnancy and delivery as well as positively impact the mother's and child's health in the postpartum period and beyond. Please check with your health care provider if you are planning to modify your health behaviors.
Currently, the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists recommends that pregnant women who are free of complications engage in regular physical activity.
There are many benefits related to regular physical activity, including a reduction in:
- excessive antenatal weight gain
- gestational diabetes
- pre-eclampsia
- mood disorders
- delivery complications
- negative body image
My Baby, My Move also conducts regular studies with pregnant women in the Denver Metro Area regarding physical activity during pregnancy.
