Benefits of exercise during pregnancy

Exercise has proven benefits for both you and your growing baby. Studies show that women who exercise at a mild to moderate level for 30 minutes, three or more times a week, experience many positive health effects, including2:

Supports a healthier pregnancy

Lowers the risk of pregnancy complications such as gestational diabetes, high blood pressure, and preterm birth.

Eases physical discomfort

Helps reduce back pain, swelling, leg cramps, constipation, and other common discomforts.

Improves heart health and overall fitness

Strengthens the heart and blood vessels, boosts overall fitness, and supports healthy weight gain during pregnancy. 

Enhances mood, energy, and sleep

Increases energy levels, improves sleep quality, positive self‑image, mood and posture, and lowers the risk of feeling depressed during and after pregnancy.

Supports a smoother labor and recovery

Increases the likelihood of vaginal birth, can shorten the pushing and labor phase, and supports a smoother postpartum recovery.

Babies benefit too!

Babies born to women who exercise:

  • Tend to be leaner with lower body fat (not smaller overall size)3
  • May be better self-soothers, making them less cranky and less likely to have colic
  • Can show strong early learning skills, and have higher general intelligence scores and better oral language skills all the way to age five3
