Exercise and pregnancy

It is healthy for everyone to exercise 

All women should be moderately active at least 30 minutes a day – regardless of how active they were so prior to the pregnancy.
With increased BMI and PCO (hormonal disturbance) further training of one hour two days a week is recommended in addition to the 30 minutes daily physical activity.

It is naturally still healthy to move around but the most important thing is that you follow your own sense of what feels good for the body and the other way around. 

It is important to train, strengthen and exercise the body during a pregnancy but the body also needs calm, southing and relaxing exercises to meet the many changes a pregnancy entails.
So give yourself time to e.g. lie quietly and calmly on a madras with your legs on a large pillow with a blanket covering you and concentrate on taking deep breaths and on relaxing.
