Pregnant or not, 9 months without sport is not desirable, we know the song: the further away we are from physical exercise, the more difficult it is to get back to it. The weight gain inherent in gestation, it will modify the center of gravity and fatigue. Tired of a pregnant woman? Baby weighs and at the end of the day “it pulls” on the lower abdomen, the future mother really needs rest.
The hormonal impregnation will hold the joints less.
But what is the role of this hormonal impregnation? Guillaume Douet replies that at the time of childbirth the mother will have to give way to the child at the level of her pelvis, a certain flexibility is therefore welcome to facilitate the birth.
So, which sport to favor?
Water is the friend of pregnant women (and of anyone who is overweight …) “because water annihilates the weight: we no longer have to carry. Movements are then easier and according to the expression dear to Guillaume “we keep mobility. “In water the impact on the joints is considerably reduced, moving is more accessible.
Same principle as water: exercises on Swissball. Sitting on this big ball, the woman no longer has to carry her weight and she regains mobility for the back and the pelvis.
To note: perinatal yoga develops and accompanies well the 9 months of pregnancy. The muscles continue to work and the joints are relieved.
To remember :
during pregnancy we seek gentle movements, we banish anything violent.
The first thing to put at the top of your list of exercises compatible with your big belly: walking. Simple, effective, it allows you to exercise at your own pace, without hurting yourself and accentuates the feeling of well-being.
