Pregnant & Postpartum Activity: An Overview
Recommendations
Moderate-intensity physical activity is safe for you during pregnancy if you are generally healthy. It can help reduce your risk of excessive weight gain and gestational diabetes and keep your heart and lungs healthy.
During the postpartum period (first year after delivery), physical activity can decrease symptoms of postpartum depression.
When combined with healthy eating, it can also help you with weight loss after delivery. Find your way to move during and after pregnancy.
