But the good news when the second pregnancy she delivered normal with few hours and strong after delivery. the reason is every morning, me and my wife are woke up early to walk along in the jogging place. Walking early in the morning is the best for the pregnant women. Try this and you will really appreciate the result. Thanks, and have nice pregnancy.

Swimming...swim laps or walk/jog in the pool. The water will help carry your weight better than on pavement, and so will not be as hard on joints. Water aerobics can be great also. Try pool lunges or just kicking while floating, etc. 1. walking…walk with a friend, your family, your dog, whatever, but this burns calories and also will make pregnancy and delivery easier in most cases

I'm a circuit trainer and also 38 weeks pregnant. I've done the circuit during most of my pregnancy. Now i'm just walking my **** off. Circuit training is also great exercise during pregnancy just skip the ab exercises. 30 mins a day and your working everything. Its not over the top and most places are for women only. I would talk w/ your doctor before you start anything new just to be on the safe side. But hey if you were in shape before you got pregnant than its safe to keep it up. Another nice tip is to get something to keep track of your heart rate. Don't get it above 140. Hope this helped.

Lots of walking! When I was pregnant, I walked because I had to for work. 2 miles in the morning and 1 mile afternoon 5 days a week.

If you are talking about cardio, stationary biking, walking in the pool are good exercises to keep you in shape and at the same time you protect your lower extremities from the pounding of jogging and running. Remember that your hormonal changes make your joints very prone to laxity. If you want to do strengthening exercises, I would recommend pelvic stabilization exercises. There is a program called beyond Kegels, by Janet Hume, PT that targets specific muscles in your pelvis so you can minimize problems of the pelvic floor. Have a good and safe pregnancy.

It makes having babies significantly less painful and makes it easier to bounce back from baby weight. When I was pregnant with my son I walked three miles every day (1.5 in the morning and 1.5 at night), and then alternated days of 60 minutes of pilates [special pregnancy pilates videos are available in stores and online for a fairly reasonable price] and 90 minutes of cardio/light weight training [think using a can of soup as a weight, nothing really hard] from when I found out until about a week before I had him. I also bought an excersize ball [I think it was about $20 or $30] and sat on it any time I would have normally sat on the couch-excersize balls strengthen back muscles and lightly work ab muscles just by sitting on them so if I was having an especially busy/bad day I would just do that instead of my workout regimen. Working out during my pregnancy was such a good idea for me! My labor was at worst "uncomfortable"(I played connect the dots until it was time to push), I only gained 23 pounds during my pregnancy, and it only took me three weeks to lose my baby weight and an EXTRA five pounds! Before you start any serious excerize you should always ask your doctor about risks because of your particular medical situation/background, but generally it is always a good idea to do as much as you can---and have fun while you're doing it! Good luck and enjoy! Excercizing during pregnancy is great. It makes having babies significantly less painful and makes it easier to bounce back from baby weight.

When I was pregnant with my son I walked three miles every day (1.5 in the morning and 1.5 at night), and then alternated days of 60 minutes of pilates [special pregnancy pilates videos are available in stores and online for a fairly reasonable price] and 90 minutes of cardio/light weight training [think using a can of soup as a weight, nothing really hard] from when I found out until about a week before I had him. I also bought an excersize ball [I think it was about $20 or $30] and sat on it any time I would have normally sat on the couch-excersize balls strengthen back muscles and lightly work ab muscles just by sitting on them so if I was having an especially busy/bad day I would just do that instead of my workout regimen.

Working out during my pregnancy was such a good idea for me! My labor was at worst “uncomfortable”(I played connect the dots until it was time to push), I only gained 23 pounds during my pregnancy, and it only took me three weeks to lose my baby weight and an EXTRA five pounds!

Before you start any serious excerize you should always ask your doctor about risks because of your particular medical situation/background, but generally it is always a good idea to do as much as you can—and have fun while you’re doing it!

Good luck and enjoy!

It has a great section on exercises. And walking is always good. Even the third time around reading a good book can be beneficial.
