First, let’s address the elephant in the room: is exercising while pregnant safe? In most cases, yes. Especially if you were already active before you got pregnant, it is generally safe to resume physical activity after you find out that you are pregnant. Most healthcare providers will suggest that you do not exercise for purposes of weight loss, but conduct pregnancy exercises to stay active and healthy during your pregnancy.

You’re responsible for the nutrition of another person now. It’s a fact that pregnant women have higher nutrition needs than the rest of the population. This Baptist Health post is designed to be a “cheat sheet” for you when it comes to foods to eat and avoid during your pregnancy! This goes without saying, but always consult your physician before making drastic changes in your diet.
