Once you are pregnant, it does not mean that you should just rest and not move from now on. This is, of course, if your pregnancy is trouble-free, your baby and yourself are healthy, and everything is going well. Sports have many benefits for both you and your baby!
1. Strengthen muscles and stay fit

In particular, it eliminates back pain, helps you cope better with pregnancy, and helps you get back into shape faster after childbirth.
2. Weight gain is reduced
.
If you exercise enough, you will not gain as much weight. This would be desirable for all pregnant women and good for the possibility of various health complications.
3. Childbirth will be easier

Some physical activities designed specifically for pregnant women promise to make childbirth easier, such as pregnancy yoga. In general, women who are in good physical condition are better positioned for a smooth delivery and subsequent recovery.
4. Feel better mentally[34
It is a simple equation. If you get enough exercise, you get more exposure to fresh air. Your body will release endorphins, you will feel mentally better, and your baby will be more energetic!
5. Meet other women

If you don\’t have any pregnant friends nearby and want to share everything with someone, you can make new friends at pregnancy yoga, for example!
