How long after a meal can a pregnant woman take a walk?

After a pregnant woman becomes pregnant, the body will experience a lot of discomfort, especially in the early stages of pregnancy when the discomfort is most obvious. At this time, it is not necessary to walk. However, when the fetus is relatively stable, it is better for pregnant women to move more instead of lying flat or squatting all the time. Strolling is most suitable for pregnant women, so how long can pregnant women take a stroll after a meal?

Pregnant women are advised to take a walk half an hour after a meal. A moderate walk after a meal can promote digestion and promote gastrointestinal function.
