PRENATAL EXERCISE BENEFITS FOR MOM
Expectant moms can benefit from exercise during pregnancy by experiencing less susceptibility to constipation, swelling, leg cramps, varicose veins, fatigue, and extra weight gain. Postural improvements result from exercise causing reduced back pain. Exercise also helps to improve circulation, and reduce pelvic and rectal pressure. Research from New York university indicates that active prenatal women in the 1st trimester reduce the likelihood of miscarriage by up to 40%.
Exercising pregnant women have an overall feeling of wellness, confidence and self-esteem.

The pelvic floor is a “sling” of muscles that supports your internal organs, e.g. your uterus, bladder and kidneys. To keep the pelvic floor (also called the Kegel muscles) strong, you need to exercise them. You can find your pelvic floor muscles by stopping and starting the flow of urine when you urinate.
