Research has shown over time that the right amount of
exercise can be helpful to a mother and her unborn. Exercising during pregnancy
is no joke, and that is why it is widely recommended by experts to expectant mothers.
At this stage, exercises should be light. This is because it
would take some time for the body to adjust into its new form. The addition of
the unborn to your body structure will ultimately alter the mechanism of the
body system. It is thus important to start light exercises while the body
adjust into its new transition.
It is however important to notify your doctor or physician and
get an approval before you commence any form of exercise routine. It is
important that you take note of changes in your body so as to ascertain if you
are to continue or stop your exercise routine.
People do perform exercises to meet several objectives, but as
a pregnant woman, these are the five basic reasons why you should exercise.
1.
Now that you are two in one, whatever action you
take on yourself concurrently affects your other half. In other words, your
baby is affected by any effect which is exerted on you either physically or
otherwise. Thus, if you perform exercises to keep yourself in good shape and
good health, you are definitely improving the health status of your unborn
baby.
2.
Regular exercise would put the body in the best
shape for the stress and rapid recovery from the labour process. It is a known
fact that exercise reduces the length of labour and increases the stamina
required for child delivery. The stress experienced by an exercising mother is
minimal because the muscle required for the labour process had been worked on
severally and would not be new to a strenuous situation.
3.
Exercise as earlier said improves the health of
the unborn. This also helps in reducing the risk of premature birth. Premature
births are caused by a number of factors which ranges from the misuse of drugs
to multiple pregnancy, maternal toxaemia or hypertension, abnormal attachment
of the placenta, or congenital malformation of the infant and weak uterus.
However it is good news to know that the risk of premature had been reduced
into about 50% by regular exercise.
4.
The best way to lose weight after pregnancy is
to shed weight during pregnancy. A lot of Mama’s would want to return to their
pre-pregnancy weight status, but they make the mistake of laying-off exercising
during pregnancy. This makes it difficult for them to gain their previous
status in time. Whereas a pregnant mum that exercises regularly sheds off the
excess fats available in her body system. This would put her in a good physical
state of regaining her pre-pregnancy weight status as there would be a few
pounds left to lose.
5.
There are some common and general side effects
which are associated with pregnancy. They include headaches, fatigues, swelling
and constipation. Most of these symptoms are associated with an excess of body
fluids, toxins ad fats in various part of the body. However, this symptoms
could be easily relegated into the past by exercising and hydration
It is important to note that you should not partake in
strenuous exercise considering your health status; and if your exercise routine
is taking a negative toll on you, you should stop immediately and seek for your
physician’s advice.
