exercising during pregnancy has many benefits*   here are just a few

 improves posture, reducing the risk of developing back ache.

 increases oxygen and nutrient supply to you and your baby 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

reduces your risk of developing varicose veins, swelling, cramp, constipation and gestational diabetes.

helps you to cope with everyday activities whilst carrying the weight of your baby.

increased cardiovascular fitness and muscular strength and endurance will help you to cope better physically during labour, often reducing labour time.

 prevents excessive weight gain during pregnancy.

 helps you to regain your pre-pregnancy figure more quickly after delivery.

*please note that exercising during pregnancy is beneficial as long as your pregnancy is low risk and free from complications and you choose an exercise programme that is suitable during pregnancy. for this reason, it is advisable that you seek advice from your gp, midwife or qualified antenatal instructor so that you can adapt your usual exercise programme accordingly or partake in a specific antenatal exercise class.
