What sport choose during pregnancy ?

This is not because one is pregnant we must remain inactive physically. Provided of course, there is no question of indulging in pregnancy at any sport. With a little common sense and following some simple rules, you will keep in shape during those nine months rather special.



Pregnancy and Sport In fact, everything depends on the term of your pregnancy. In the first quarter, you can almost everything afford. After, be a little more cautious. If you have never done any sport is certainly not the moment to decide either to get started extensively in the illusory aim to retain as smooth as possible silhouette. Useless and dangerous!
However, if you were accustomed to physical activity, you can continue to do it at least provided that:


It is not too violent;
You do not présentiez a medical problem;
Your doctor gives you approval.
The recommended sports ...


Sports activities are recommended between all walking and swimming. Walking because it can be practiced, including by the less athletic, throughout pregnancy. Swimming because it is very relaxing, increases cardiac capacity and is not accompanied by the onset of joint pain. Courses for pregnant women are also often offered in the municipal swimming pools and maybe we will advise the backstroke.

The "soft" Gymnastics is also possible and may be associated with birth preparedness. If you want to do some "gym" sessions but prefer twenty minutes two to three times a week rather than over an hour and, at home, remember to warm up a few minutes before starting your exercises. Nevertheless Avoid violent stretching. Indeed, the ligaments tend to loosen during pregnancy.

Some women also like to dance with moderation, yoga or cycling, but your "big belly" may interfere with the practice of that sport in late pregnancy.


... And banned sports

However, other sports are to be avoided after the fourth month. Either because they can lead to falls (horse riding, skiing, etc.), risk even more real than the movement of the body's center of gravity promotes loss of balance in pregnant women. Either because they can expose you to shocks or trauma to the abdomen: collective ball sports, judo, karate ...

Tennis and jogging are more recommended, because they determine quite severe vibrations are a source of sprains. Finally, one would have suspected, mountaineering is strongly discouraged and diving forbidden diving, snorkeling to be hazardous to the fetus.


Some other precautions

Of course, you can avoid abrupt movements and excessive joint stress, weakened by pregnancy. Obviously, you will rest a little more often than before and you abstain during periods of hot weather. But also remember to maintain a healthy diet sufficiently rich in potassium because the occurrence of cramps are more common during pregnancy. To this end, you will consume in abundance vegetables, fruits and meat. Do not forget to drink lots of water to prevent dehydration.

What can we expect from the exercise?

The benefits of exercise are many in pregnancy: care the abdominal muscles, improving venous return, increase endurance ... Move and look after oneself are also a source of psychological well-being. In addition, various studies have shown that sport facilitates the work of childbirth increasing respiratory performance and that women who continued to play sports less frequently give birth by caesarean section. So definitely convinced?
