Exercises for pregnant women
Many researches have proved that pregnant women who exercise regularly are less likely to get the leg vain stretch, headache, increase blood pressure, swollen.They also give birth easier and rarely have post birth accidents.
Giving birth is a challenge for women's health. Since having a germ of life until the baby was born, their bodies experience many physiological and psychological changes.
Physiological changes can easily change to disease. For instance, weak people who have given birth several times, weak abdominal wall muscle, wide and fabby womb...their wombs are likely to be hard causing haemorrhage and may have to be surged.
The foetus' health depends a lot on mother's health. During pregnancy, not only the demand for nutrition and vitamin but also the demand for oxygen increases. The foetus is very sensitive with lack of oxygen. If for some reasons, the mother breathes weakly, blood supplied to the foetus decreases, at once the foetus will trample more. This is the sign of "hungry for oxygen". If this state prolongs, the development and health of the baby will be greatly affected.
Exercising during pregnancy is an active way to enhance the mother's health and prepare the strength for easy and safe child-bearing, simultaneously improve the foetus' health through the mother.
How to exercise suitably?
In the first 3 months, when the foetus doesn't cling to the womb's wall, exercises must be easy. Do the exercises to develop and improve the muscles which will participate in childbirth such as pelvis muscle, abdominal wall muscle, back muscle and increase the flexibility of the pelvis. During gestation, stop exercises in the form of sport, especially do not take part in sport competition.
From the fourth to the seventh month, you can swim, and swim with slow speed, unhurried movements. It's best to swim the breast stroke. Swimming in a total exercise, in which muscles participating directly in giving birth are improved. When swimming, activities of the arms and legs combine naturally with breath, the body has direct contact with the air and water; the whole body is like being gently massaged; the blood circulates, which is very beneficial for the health. Do not swim for along time, each time exercise for not more than 20 minutes. Do not swim in dirty lakes or wells because in such environments there are many bacteria and dermatophyte. Strictly do not jump from a board into the water.
Apart from exercising, everyday, pregnant women should go for a walk in cool and fresh air. Do not go far but go for short distance, rest and walk again.
From the seventh month onwards, exercising must be careful because now the foetus is big. Over-exercise or shock can cause foetal derangement and premature birth.
Exercising must depend on each one's health state and pregnancy. If there are any changes even the smallest, you must consult doctor's advice.
