Cycling, Pilates, swimming and yoga are all great low impact forms of exercise that you can safely do during pregnancy.<\/p>\n<p>Some things to be aware of while exercising when pregnant:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Avoid contact sports where there is a risk of being hit, such as kickboxing, football or squash<\/li>\n<li>Try not to exercise for more than 45 minutes at a time<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t let yourself get too hot, and drink plenty of water whilst exercising to avoid overheating<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t do exercises in which you lie flat on your back after 16 weeks. This is because the weight of your bump may compress on the main blood<br \/>\nvessel bringing blood back to your heart, and can make you feel dizzy or faint.<\/li>\n<li>If you do experience any unusual symptoms, contact your GP or midwife as soon as possible<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Remember that whatever your fitness level, it\u2019s really important to listen to your body and do what feels comfortable for you.<\/p>\n<p>The Wellbeing of My Baby approach<\/p>\n<p>We know that having a baby is the most special thing to happen in a woman\u2019s life. That is why when you visit us at our clinic, our Sonographers will take you through a supportive, personalised service that gets to the heart of your concerns and explores what you are hoping to gain from your scan. We can give you a more thorough understanding of how your baby is growing and developing throughout your pregnancy.<\/p>\n<p>Our aim is to provide you with high quality scans which include an educational experience that comes together to have you leaving our clinic feeling knowledgeable and empowered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2885,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-2951","concern","type-concern","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!--
