In this Pregnancy Exercises app, you can find simple pregnancy exercises for every trimester.

Maintaining a regular exercise routine throughout your pregnancy can help you stay healthy and feel your best. It can also improve your posture and decrease some common discomforts like backaches and fatigue. There is evidence that it may prevent gestational diabetes (diabetes that develops during pregnancy), relieve stress, and build more stamina needed for labor and delivery.

Pregnancy is a blessing. But delivering a baby can be excruciatingly painful. Labor pain is caused by the contraction of uterus muscles, pressure on cervix, bladder, stretching of the birth canal, and abdominal, back, and groin cramps.

1st trimester (week 1 – week 12 or about 3 months) is the most crucial period. And most of you must have heard your doctors and senior family members advising you against any strenuous activity. Of course, you are not allowed to lift weights, do HIIT, or cardio but you can do very low-intensity exercises if your doctor gives you a thumbs up.

2nd Trimester Pregnancy Exercises For Normal Delivery

2nd trimester (Week 13 – week 27) is typically known as the “honeymoon period” because nausea and morning sickness subsides. You will start to feel your baby move and may also experience abdominal cramps as your uterus will start to stretch. It is usually safe to do pregnancy workouts around this time, but do talk to your doctor first before doing the following exercises.
