Pregnancy & Postpartum

Participation in physical activity during pregnancy elicits a number of health benefits, including reduced risk of excessive gestational weight gain, reduced risk of conditions such as gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, preterm birth, varicose veins and deep vein thrombosis. From a psychological perspective benefits include reduced levels of fatigue, stress, anxiety, depression and improved well-being. There is also some evidence that physical activity during pregnancy is associated with a reduced length of labour and delivery complications.
