For mum's to be, exercise before, during and after pregnancy is very beneficial for both mother and baby.
I believe that it is important to note that no real fitness gains take place whilst exercising during pregnancy. Instead, exercise should be seen as beneficial from a maintenance point of view. Maintaining a baseline level of fitness to help with the pregnancy, birth and to return to training more easily after the birth is important.
Generally, women who exercise throughout pregnancy can maintain a better self image and can be more positive about themselves, their pregnancy, labour and delivery. Exercise is a very positive thing to to.
Following an initial consultation your exercise programme will be carefully designed and constantly monitored and reviewed. Regular meetings with your doctor or midwife are important to consider with any programme design.
