Pregnancy Exercise?

Question: Please read all of this and answer these questions. A website on sleep4you.com/sleep.php/84/baby.html'>babycenter.com said that you should not exercise if you're expecting twins or multiples. What's wrong with exercise during a twin or multiple pregnancy? What exercises are safe during pregnancy? Jumping? Jogging? Stretching? Yoga? ty. Also, I have a benign brain lipoma. My memory is slowly going away. I have lots of forgetfulness and it is getting worse. Is this the brain lipoma? I go to the neurologist Nov. 27 about the tumor. Should I tell her about all my forgetfulness?

Answer: exercising with multiples is not advised during mid to late pregnancy because it increases the chances of pre term labor. yoga is very popular during pregnancy, as are long walks, water aerobics, and most anything that doesnt involve strenuous/jumping activities. and yes, you should certainly tell your doctor about your memory problems. the more she knows the better she can help you and your baby.

Pregnancy & exercise?

Question: What are some of the best exercises I can do right now, I'm 24 wks pregnant & I need to strengthen my body some. I haven't exercised since I got pregnant. Also does anyone know any sight that I can learn some of this at for free? And does anyone know of a free pregnancy yoga sight?

Answer: If you haven't exercised a lot in your pregnancy, you shouldn't start anything too strenuous now. It's still ok to work out and exercise, but nothing TOO tough. Walking is going to be one of your best things you can do, especially near the end of your pregnancy. You have to walk a lot though, like for an hour or more. Take breaks if you get tired, and bring water and healthy snacks if you need energy. You can also lift weights, just keep the weight low. Don't push yourself to lift a lot of weight. Do bicep curls, tricep extensions, and lateral raises. You can also do squats and lunges to keep your legs toned. If you do crunches, keep them low and gentle. Don't try too hard. Eating REALLY healthy will be great for you and your baby. Eat a lot of vegetables and whole grains. And drink a LOT of milk. I bought an exercise resistance band when I was pregnant. It was great because I could do a lot of exercises at home, without having to buy a bunch of bulky and heavy weights. Also, it came with an instruction sheet with tons of exercises on it. I brought the sheet into my next Ob-Gyn and asked her to point out what exercises were ok to do while pregnant. Then, after I had the baby, I still used the exercise band. I also joined Stroller Strides exercise program. It's a national thing they have in the US (not sure where you're from). Check out their website to see if they have something near you. It was a great way to lose baby weight, get healthy, and meat health-conscious moms. Check it out. Good luck with the baby!
