During exercise, your blood flow is optimal, so every time you exercise within a prescribed limit, your baby gets a surge of oxygen into her blood. All her tissues, especially her brain, function in top form.
The hormones that are released during exercise pass across the placenta and reach your baby. Therefore, when you exercise, your baby receives a lift from your adrenaline.
During exercise, your baby also experiences the effect of endorphins, our own natural morphine-like substances, which make us feel extremely good.
The motion of exercise is extremely soothing and your baby feels comforted by the rocking movements.
Exercise with care Begin your routine at a gentle pace and gradually build up to a tempo that feels right for you. Before each exercise, try a few deep breaths. This gets the blood flowing around your body and gives all your muscles a good supply of oxygen.
If you suffer any cramping, pain, or shortness of breath, stop exercising; then make sure you resume at a slower pace.
