Let's talk about the exercises that women can do during pregnancy, but this is different for each woman because she will depend on the exercise that each woman does before becoming pregnant and also on what the doctor recommends. It should be noted that rough exercises are not recommended, they must be passive exercises.
Walks and their benefits!
To begin with, for women who did not exercise before pregnancy, walks are perfect, it may be that girls do it 2 to 5 times a week, it is better to do it where the sun is not very strong because it can affect us.
But girls, it should be noted that each of us has her own rhythm, so that it does not cause us pain, or that it gives us the feeling of being very tired. And in turn, the muscles of our legs are strengthened.
And girls, it should be noted that there are many advantages for us and for our babies. For example, walking during pregnancy will control our weight and at the same time, the circulation will improve and will avoid that annoying symptom that many women feel are called bloating or cramps.
Internally, it will generate that the baby's head is better accommodated in its position and at the time of having the contractions they are less painful and that the dilation is easier and at the time of delivery it is easy.
As for postpartum recovery, the walks will make it easier to walk or get up, regardless of whether the delivery was vaginal or by cessation.
As for our mental health, walking will give us energy and improve our mood, and that hormones do not affect our mood to a great extent. Now, together with humor comes the strengthening of our lungs and at the time of delivery, it will be easier for us to breathe as the contractions get stronger.
But as I said before, girls, you have to consult our gynecologist for any complication, but fortunately, the cases of affectations from walking are extremely few since it is a gentle and slow exercise.
Hydro Gymnastics
What is it?
It is a combination of gymnastics, aerobics, music, and the main thing is water, these exercises are very fun, they complement various exercises both gymnastics and aerobics. The most important thing in this is that you do not need to know how to swim girls.
We can do this exercise during the nine months and if we want we can do it throughout the week for about half an hour, but it must be at a low level. This will reduce the swelling of the feet and back pain.

Now, we know girls that in the water our bodies weigh less and this will reduce the back pain and what is the swelling and it will not hurt, because in the water all our muscles make a contraction.
And one of the important benefits of pregnant women is that water gymnastics makes our blood pressure establish and maintain.
Pilates
This generates that it improves breathing, to strengthen the muscles, it also improves blood circulation and heart rate, we can do it three times a week, but girls this exercise is done from the third month because the first months are risky. After all, our son is in adaptation and development.
Girls this exercise combines what is to hold your breath and what is physical exercise and is said to be one of the best exercises to do while we have a little one in our womb.
Profits!

Risks or contradictions!

And likewise, there is the medical part and that is why before doing all this we must consult our doctor and it is recommended that we perform some medical tests to see if everything is going well in our pregnancy, because there are certain women whose pregnancy may be considered as a risk pregnancy and if these girls exercise they can have placental abruption. So that is why we girls must make sure that our pregnancy and little one are fine.
Exercises that are not good for pregnant women.
Rough exercises clearly cannot be done because they can affect the baby and cause pain. Abdominal exercises are extremely bad for the baby because the umbilical cord can wrap around the neck or the amniotic fluid can enter the baby's small lungs.
Contact sports or ball games are extremely dangerous because just as the umbilical cord can wrap around their necks, even a hard blow to the belly can cause something terrible to happen to our little blessing.
Conclusion
