Exercise while pregnant?

Well you can do stuff on the floor like squatting that will help with. But jumping is no good right now not at 31 weeks. Just kicking you legs while your sitting that is fine. Certain yoga positions is good to do that is working out just not in the way where it'll put stress on your body. If your to swollen to walk then there isn't too too much to do. Right now this is a good time to start slowing down as your baby gets ready for birth so should you and take some rest while you can.

Walking is the best exercise in your last trimester and you can walk till the day of your delivery. Other exercises may be difficult to be performed with the big belly. Walking on the other hand keeps the lower part of the body flexible and also helps the mother in delivering the baby naturally. Need not walk for long but keep walking as much as you can irrespective of the weather. Enjoy your pregnancy and happy motherhood. Happy mylotting too.

I had 5 children and had fairly easy pregnancies. I actually enjoyed being pregnant. When you are entering your final trimester the utmost importance is pay attention to what your body is saying to you. have you already been exercising? If not, you still can do minimal exercises to encourage you to exercise what is the lest strenuous for you. Even if the weather is bad, take a walk through a major store like Target. Or head to the mall and walk it. if you notice any hurting in your ligiments or tendons slow down and rest. your body will send signals if you are overdoing such as walking to long, or to fast. remember the last trimester is the hardest on your body. you average 1lb a week of weight gain. Look into some yoga videos. you can read reviews on them on amazon. There are videos that are specific for pregnancies and different trimesters. The best advice is listen to your body. Tired? rest. once your precious bundle is born you won't get much of that for several months. Be good to your body during the last trimester. One of the best exercises I can give you is the Kegal exercises. if you go to the bathroom and have ever used your muscles during a urine flow to stop the stream, those are your kegal muscles. if you can tighten and release them several times a day it assists your muscles to develop in your pelvic floor to assist in birthing your baby. Check into mild stretches, and above all remember to breath in through the nose and out through your mouth as you do any exercise. It will keep you from getting dizzy and give better oxygen to your lungs. If you are fortunate find a massage school near you. find out if they do a massage for pregnancies. I go to a massage school of therapy and it only costs 35.00 a week for my massage. Now I have moved up to using the massage instructor because I have several illnesses that naturally students can;t concentrate on. but there are pregnancy massages and you would actually give them a chance to learn while you get a relaxing massage. Good Luck to you and hope you let us know what you are having.

hi friend mcar82, you pregnant, and near to born baby, please be careful in exercise, dont try to dance, dont lost the baby without proper time. take care.

I would suggest you talk to your doctor. They could have some great ideas of exercises that will limit the strain on your child. I know that when I was in the last trimester, I was extremely swollen as well, so I just did stretches and light training in my living room. But don't overdo it - listen to your body!!!
