Some pregnant women are skeptical about gymnastics for pregnant women, they do not see the point in doing gymnastics, they are afraid to provoke premature birth. First of all, pregnancy is not a reason to stop moving. On the contrary, many of the typical ailments during pregnancy can be gently and naturally relieved or alleviated through exercise. Like massages , gymnastics can help relieve tension in the back, neck, strengthen muscles and improve well-being. In addition, during childbirth, it does not hurt anyone to be in good shape.
The exercises presented in this article were performed without problems even by women expecting triplets on a gymnastics course for pregnant women. But before you start gymnastics, consult your doctor if you have any contraindications, especially if you have pain or heaviness in the lower abdomen and there is a suspicion of the possibility of premature birth.
While exercising, try to gradually increase the load, do nothing abruptly and through force. It makes sense to do gymnastics three times a week for 20 minutes.
