From the way you walk to the way you breathe, everything feels a little different. And while rest is important, movement—when done right—is just as essential.

Most expecting moms are either too scared to exercise or unsure what’s safe. But here’s the truth: the right kind of physical activity during pregnancy can reduce aches, help you sleep better, boost your mood, and even make labor a bit easier.

This isn’t about “losing weight” or “staying in shape.” It’s about helping your body do the toughest, most beautiful thing it’ll ever do—bring a new life into this world.

Why Movement Matters During Pregnancy

When you’re pregnant, your body’s working overtime. Gentle exercise helps:

• Improve blood circulation (especially in Jaipur’s dry heat)
• Reduce back pain, swelling, and stiffness
• Prepare your body for a smoother, more confident delivery

Moms who move often feel stronger, sleep better, and experience fewer mood swings. And let’s be honest—feeling strong makes you feel in control.

Safe Activities You Can Start Today

Before you begin anything, always check with your gynecologist in Jaipur—especially if you have high-risk pregnancy signs like spotting, low-lying placenta, or high BP. Once your doctor gives the green light, here’s what you can safely try:

1. Walking

The most underrated exercise. Just 20–30 minutes a day can do wonders. Choose shaded areas or walk early in the morning or after sunset to avoid the Rajasthan heat.

2. Prenatal Yoga

Yoga isn't just stretching—it's breath, balance, and mental calm. Focus on poses that improve flexibility and pelvic strength like:

• Butterfly pose (Baddha Konasana)
• Cat-cow pose (Marjaryasana Bitilasana)
• Mountain pose (Tadasana) for posture

Avoid lying flat on your back after the 2nd trimester. And yes, skip any twisting or aggressive poses.

3. Pelvic Tilts and Breathing

These help prepare your pelvic muscles for birth and keep your core strong. Your doctor or a trained prenatal physiotherapist can guide you best.

When to Stop Immediately

If you feel dizzy, short of breath, or experience cramps or spotting—stop. These are signs that your body needs rest or something’s off. At Maternite, we always tell our moms-to-be: listen to your body. It’s smarter than you think.
