Exercise in the First Trimester: Safe Activity for a Healthy Start

The first trimester is a sensitive stage, but moderate physical activity can be very beneficial for both mother and baby. Exercise helps to:
• Improve circulation and energy levels.
• Reduce stress and anxiety.
• Support heart and lung health.
• Help manage weight during pregnancy.

Tips for Exercising in the First Trimester:
• Choose low-impact activities such as walking, swimming, or gentle stretching.
• Avoid high-intensity exercises or activities that carry a risk of falling or injury.
• Listen to your body; if you feel extreme fatigue, dizziness, or bleeding, stop immediately and consult your doctor.
• Stay well-hydrated before, during, and after exercise.

 Practical Tip: Even 15–30 minutes of moderate activity daily is enough to boost your health and prepare your body for the next stages of pregnancy.
