The importance of exercise during pregnancy
If the pregnant woman did not exercise before pregnancy, it is a fact that she should not start strenuous movements during this period, but if she has been exercising before, do not stop, you can safely continue the activities. Movement is also very important during pregnancy . Maternity gymnastics, specially developed for mothers, and yoga are particularly effective.
Lower-intensity, slower running, or walking and other hiking activities also have a positive effect, and even if your health allows, daily walking is highly recommended during pregnancy.
Of course, before starting any form of exercise, a consultation with a specialist doctor and gynecologist is necessary, as certain life situations or health conditions (e.g. a threatened pregnancy) do not allow sports during pregnancy.
Pregnancy gymnastics and maternity yoga are both available at Duna Medical. Our specialized maternity gymnastics instructors support mothers with the experience of movement and ensuring physical and mental recharge, in order to achieve a harmonious birth.
With pregnancy exercise, you can consciously prepare for childbirth , and the good news is that you can start from the beginning of the second trimester, i.e. from the 12th week. Its many beneficial effects are known, for example, it improves posture and helps the body prepare for spine problems caused by a growing belly, improves oxygen supply and has a positive effect on blood circulation.
With maternity yoga, she can focus on every vibration of her pregnant body at any given moment, and by freeing her mind, positive energies pass through her body. Yoga helps the mother relax a little during the tense, question-filled, exciting months and exclude all external distractions around her. The goal of pregnancy yoga is for the mother to be able to focus on herself and her fetus, thereby promoting a sense of security during childbirth. It helps to tune in to a natural, peaceful birth, which is a fundamental right of every woman.
