What are some good pregnancy exercises?

Q. My left leg hurts when I sit down or lay on it. What are some exercises I can do?

A. When you're pregnant one of the best things you can do to help eliminate aches and pains is to do a little excersising. You can do a range of different things like ride a bike, stretches, yoga, walk, lift light dumbells. Before you lay down at night try soaking your feet in a hot tub of water. This helps relax some muscles up thru your leg. Good luck!


In the First month of pregnancy should a person excersise?
Q. In the first week of pregnancy should a exercise if so what kind of exercise are okay and what kinds are not?

A. If you were already an active person it's fine. I would talk to your doctor first but mild exercise is good. Like bike riding, swimming, and walking. Swimming is the best exercise for me since i had back pain before pregnancy and now it's worse.


Does anyone know any good pregnancy exercises?
Q. Besides walking because that is an obvious one. I know I'm not supposed to do any sit-ups, but I would like other exercises to help keep in shape as much as I can.

A. walking, jogging, swimming, yoga, riding a stationary bike. pretty much anything you did before you were pregnant, as long as there isn't contact involved.


Heart rate during exercise while pregnant?
Q. I'm 21 weeks pregnant. Before pregnancy I exercised somewhat regularly. I just started back at the gym as the Dr had exercise off limits for a little while. I was told to not exceed 140 beats/min but a few times I was at 155. Was that harmful to baby or is it ok as long as you don't stay at that rate?

A. Don't stress about it hon. Your heart rate being up that high for a couple minutes wouldn't have harmed the baby. Your heart rate would have to stay up very high for a long time before it would possibly hurt the baby. my doctor always told me if i did go over 140, not to do it for more than 20 minutes tho. he said a little bit wouldn't hurt. so i don't think you need to worry about your few minutes. i exercised all the time when i was pregnant. and my heart rate sometimes jumped up higher than it should have, and babies are both fine.

good luck.
