Exercises during pregnancy and after delivery:
Old beliefs claim that pregnancy is a good time to sit and relax. However, recent studies and experiments have proven otherwise, sitting and relaxing will not solve problems related to pregnancy such as (feeling tired, back pains, swelling, and constipation) but increase them.
In fact, pregnancy provides an essential reason to be active. Exercises help to reduce common pregnancy complaints, facilitate delivery, and help quick physical recovery in postpartum.
However، it is normal to wonder if exercises are safe during pregnancy or not, the answer is yes but with few precautions. Before starting any exercise, consult your doctor and tell him if you suffer from any medical situation.
- Prevent overweight gain.
- Improve circulatory system.
- Reduce back and legs pains.
- Facilitate fetal getting out during childbirth.
- Generally, give you comfort.
Also, you should know that postpartum exercises help to:
Lose extra weight.
Tighten and flatten the abdomen’s muscles.
Strengthen pelvic floor muscles.
Re-control the anal muscles.
Prevent urinary incontinence.
Yet, they reinforce your self-confidence and reduce tension related to this period.
