Is it OK to Exercise During Pregnancy?

Exercise during pregnancy is generally safe and recommended. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services suggests at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week for healthy pregnant women. Low-impact exercises are gentle on joints, while high-impact exercises can be done at a moderate intensity. It's important to consult with your doctor before starting or continuing any exercise routine during pregnancy, especially if you were very active before becoming pregnant.
