Im trying for a baby and want know is it important to have plenty of excerise before up untill after u have given birth?
I read its important so your body is fit and you will have an health pregancy and helps for reshaping your body afterwards.
Is this true??
Can anyone give advice on the best excerise?? :confused:

i think different exercises might be more suitable than others depending on whether you pre, pregnant or post. Yoga, pilates and swimming are three that i can think of that are often associated with pregnancy, but be careful to check out the details, especially when you are pregnant.

good luck! :hihi:

thanks! :D

best excerise?? trying for a baby....??:hihi:

what a stupid question.... Isn't it Obvious:huh:

;):P;):P

have fun.

:roll: haha very funny

:roll: haha very funny:hihi: sorry lv, Couldn't Resist, the voices told me to do it...

:hihi: I was just waiting for someone to say it! Congrats your the first!

speak with your doctor he will advise you best, i consulted with my doc over both of my kids and each time he gave me different excersise

I've been recommended swimming and yoga in general, though also initially 'do whatever exercise you are used to' so if you run 3 times a week then carry on with that kind of thing etc til you are either too fat/exhausted/are told to stop.

I think they might not agree with somethings though.... I can't see the medical profession agreeing with something like climbing if you know what i mean :)

My local sports centre also does maternity/new mum aerobics, which is low impact, something like that might be worth looking at after you get pregnant.

Great, thanks for the advice, which sports centre is that then? x

Thats not one in Sheffield I'm afraid, its Queens Park in Chesterfield. Though not too far away if you have transport.
I can't say what its like as thanks to back/hip and ankle problems i'm restricted to swimming at the mo, but it might be worth looking at.
I'll see if i can find a link to it anywhere...

EDIT: seems not :( grr..

Belly Dance!
some people think it may have originated for exactly this reason. I also have testimony from friends and aquaintances that it helps with back pain etc. during pregnancy, some of the movements help with contraction pains during labour and it helps 'pull everything back together' afterwards!
There are some movements to be avoided during prenancy - check with your doctor/midwife - but whatever excersise you do be aware that you should not start anything new in the early stages of pregnancy and also that due to hormonal changes, your joints become more mobile which can leave you at risk of over-stretching or sprains so you need to be quite careful.

Can only think of the obvious - and it burns calories.

To be honest I think that's a load of bunkum. As long as you're healthy, dont' smoke, take drugs and don't drink, eat healthily then you're doing the best for your baby. As for reshaping your body afterwards, believe me with the running around you'll be doing and if you breastfeed you'll soon shape up. I was reading an article by Davina McCall and she said it takes 9 months to make a baby and she allows herself 9 months to get back to pre-pregnancy shape which seems very sensible to me. Good luck!
