The answer is yes, as long as there is no medical contraindication and as long as the exercise is adequate.

Some good options could be walking, swimming, adapted yoga, adapted Pilates.  If the woman had exercise habits before becoming pregnant, she may continue to exercise, as long as she adapts the intensity of her exercise routines to her condition. High-impact exercises and exercises with excessive loads should be avoided. Talk to your doctor.

Regular physical activity is therefore important to maintain the pregnant woman's physical and mental health. Therefore, physical exercise in pregnancy has several advantages:

• it decreases the risk of gestational diabetes;

• it reduces the frequency of cramps;
