Hi,

I am in my 8th month now. I started doing prenatal yoga in my 4th month. I do 40-45 mins on an average daily. How much time is actually preferable to do in a day and how many times in a week.

I think you should go by your gut feeling. It varies from person to person. If you were always into fitness, then I think you have a good stamina. you can continue this routine if you are not feeling tired. You can do yoga thrice a week and in other days you can do some other light exercises.

I think you are doing the right thing. It is important to be active during pregnancy for the health of both the mother and the baby.

It is important to visit the doctor and ask him whether it is safe to go to the gym. If he recommends you to go to the gym then you can hit the gym. The practitioner will limit your exercises if you have any complications and if you have gestational diabetes then you have to be a little more active.

Hi all, If you have been already working out before your pregnancy and are in good health then your practitioner will motivate you to continue your regular routine as long as you can do it with some modifications.

If it is not possible for you to go to the gym you can always try the other fun activities like swimming or stationary cycling or walking. All these exercises are safe and are effective. You can also join any prenatal yoga classes which are really beneficial.
