Gentle exercise during pregnancy is good (and safe) for you and your baby. Not only does it help you maintain a healthy weight but it also helps prepare your body for labour.

Find out how much you need, which types of exercise you can safely do and what to avoid.

How much exercise do I need?

Did you know that 150 minutes of exercise each week has loads of benefits for pregnant mums?

It doesn't have to be in one go – even 10-minute spells can make a difference.

If you're used to doing regular exercise, keep it up!

Which month to start exercise during pregnancy for normal delivery

Just make sure to do what feels comfortable for your body and don't push yourself too much. Exercise does not have to be strenuous to be beneficial.

If you're not used to exercising, or have not done any for a while, now is a good time to begin.

Try starting off with 10 minutes of daily activity, like taking a brisk walk.

You can then build up to 150 minutes of weekly exercise.

Remember: whatever your fitness level, it's really important to listen to your body and do what feels right for you.
