PREGNANCY DIET

Second Trimester

Exercise

Slow but steady is the way to go!!

Your activities may seem a little slower since you will tend to get exhausted more quickly, but do remember that exercise is beneficial during your pregnancy. It will tone your muscles and keep you agile enough to have an easier labour. The best form of exercise is the one you have been comfortable with in the past. But consult your gynaecologist before you indulge in any form of rigorous exercise.

Even your regular household chores are a good form of exercise, but do not over exert and strain yourself doing chores that are strenuous to perform.

There's nothing like taking a walk with the fresh air blowing on your face. An early morning walk is recommended as this is the best time to synthesize vitamin D in your body from the early morning sunlight. Vitamin D helps in the absorption of calcium which is an essential nutrient required throughout your pregnancy.

The key to exercising correctly is to continue only till you reach just below the point of exhaustion without exerting yourself unnecessarily. Some women may be able to walk for an hour without getting tired whereas others might get tired in 30 minutes.

Yoga and swimming are also excellent forms of exercise that can be continued well into your third trimester. The more active you are during this period, the easier it will be for you when you deliver. Research, shows that women who have had an active pregnancy have a much better chance of having a normal delivery.
