For some women the thought of exercise during pregnancy is as appealing as a root canal without novacane. In their thoughts they have a nine month pass to keeping up with their gym routine. The first three months they are battling morning sickness and exhaustion. The next three months they are starting to show. The last three months are so uncomfortable that walking ten feet to the bathroom is pure torture, so there is no way they will be able to walk on a treadmill for ten minutes.

On the other side of the coin, there are some ladies who do not let something as little as creating a life stand in their way of exercise. These are the women we might see actually teaching a class at the gym, or speed walking throughout our neighborhood with their protruding bellies.

Many people however fall somewhere in the middle and that is just how their doctors like it. Exercise comes highly recommended when pregnant. Not only does it help control weight gain, however, many women swear it helps with delivery also. There are some things to keep in mind in order to protect yourself and your growing infant.

Pregnancy is not the time to try out new exercise routines. This means that you should not try the new spinning class that your gym offers. Keep with the routine you have already been performing and that your body is use to. You may find that you have to make some modifications to some of your exercises as your pregnancy progresses. If you are a runner, a modified low impact jog through out your first trimester is okay but once you enter your second trimester and begin to show, your jog has to be brought down to a walk. For those of you who love sit ups, crunches and floor pushups, you can continue to do these until you hit about 14 weeks or so. After that time period no floor exercises are recommended.

If you do not have any sort of exercise routine in place before you get pregnant, this still does not give you a free pass. Almost every doctor will advise you that walking is a great exercise for pregnant women who are not at high risk. Walking at least thirty minutes, three times a week is a safe way for a pregnant woman to stay active.

Walking is something you can do through out all three trimesters though you may find yourself moving at a slower pace by your third trimester. Another great plus to walking, especially as you approach your due date, is that walking can actually bring on labor. Many doctors will advise their patients to walk, walk and walk some more in the weeks prior to their due dates to get things rolling. Some women who have walked throughout their entire pregnancy have an easier delivery and recovery period.
