 Fit & Pregnant
explores the beneficial effects exercise can have on the pregnant body,
from types of exercise that can reduce the risk of postpartum urinary
incontinence to general health and fitness promotion. Fit &
Pregnant also covers which specific exercises are best avoided
particularly in the second trimester onward, how to lift weights
safely, and how to scale back particularly intense regimens - pregnant
women are advised to train not for professional competition, but rather
specifically for the "event" of delivering a healthy baby. Also
discussed at length are the changes a pregnant woman's body goes
through, what to expect and prepare for, and means to maximize health
and safety throughout the experience.
In Fit & Pregnant, you will learn how:
- physical activity may affect your ability to get pregnant,
- your body changes over the next nine months,
- your baby is affected by the exercise you do,
- exercise needs to be modified during pregnancy,
- other mothers stayed fit during their pregnancies.
