stretching routine can help with any muscle pain or cramping you 
might be experiencing. This is particularly helpful as your body 
changes — stretching can help to improve your posture and this can 
work to give the baby more space.

safe and gentle enough to perform through most stages of your

Hydration is essential, especially when you’re pregnant. Water plays 

an important role in the development of your little one and also helps 
to form the placenta and the amniotic sac. 

When you are pregnant, you want to make sure you continue to drink 
adequate amounts of water, especially if you have been dealing with 
morning sickness or constipation.  
If you are exercising, make sure you are drinking water during your 
rest breaks and once you are done working out so that you are 
replenishing the fluids that were lost.

balance being fit and pregnant sounds confusing but it really isn’t. 
Pregnancy doesn’t mean you need to completely change your ​exercise 
routine​ ​or your meals. Adjusting the habits you already have in place 
can make this time easier, particularly when you already have a lot 
going on!
