Precautions for exercise during the second trimester

Many women become the "key protected objects" of the family as soon as they become pregnant. Families with the means do not even have to do housework, and all they do every day is eat and sleep. In fact, this practice is incorrect. Women who are pregnant should do some exercise to prepare for a smoother delivery. There are many things to pay attention to when pregnant women exercise in the second trimester. Let's take a look at them together:

First, avoid strenuous exercise

Many pregnant women will do appropriate exercise during pregnancy, because proper exercise is beneficial to the health of both pregnant women and children. For example, it can help you control your weight and not exceed the standard, and it can also exercise certain muscle strength, which is necessary for pregnant mothers who give birth naturally, and can increase the tension of the pelvis during natural childbirth. However, excessive exercise will be detrimental to the health of adults and children, especially for pregnant women whose body temperature is higher than normal people during pregnancy. Moreover, for some pregnant women who are fatter and exercise less, excessive exercise will cause physical discomfort and may also cause miscarriage or bleeding. If you have some diseases or have had a miscarriage before, it is not suitable for strenuous exercise. Generally speaking, the best exercise for pregnant women is walking.

Second, pay attention to the frequency of exercise

You don't have to exercise every day, two or three times a week is enough. There is no need to do a fixed exercise, as long as you don't feel tired when exercising. If necessary, you can adjust according to your physical condition. If you exercise less, you should proceed slowly at the beginning. It is not advisable to do too much exercise for too long at one time. Give your body time to adapt and a process of adjustment. You can take a walk every day, but if you do other exercises, it is best to have intervals between them.

Third, sports clothes should be loose

In addition to paying attention to some details and time when exercising, you should also pay attention to your clothes, especially pregnant mothers. With a big belly, clothes cannot be too tight, otherwise it will be inconvenient to move. It is best to wear comfortable, elastic and loose clothes. You should also choose the color. Choosing some bright colors will have a certain impact on the mood of people exercising. When exercising, it is important to choose the right clothes to make it convenient for you to exercise. Otherwise, if you feel uncomfortable exercising, you won’t want to exercise next time. Also, wear sports shoes that are more comfortable to walk in to avoid accidental sprains.

The above is an introduction to the precautions for pregnant women to take when exercising in the second trimester. Pregnant women should be aware of their physical condition and exercise appropriately. In short, the comfort of the pregnant woman should be the priority. Appropriate activities are also helpful for the baby's growth. Being a happy and healthy pregnant mother will be more beneficial to the growth and development of the fetus.
