[Health Channel/Comprehensive Report] Many pregnant women want to exercise but are worried that "moving fetal gas" will affect the baby's health. How should they exercise during pregnancy?

Physicians say that exercising during pregnancy can reduce low back pain, reduce the incidence of diabetes, and reduce the chance of premature birth of the baby, among other benefits.

However, to avoid exercising in a humid and hot environment, it is recommended to replenish water before, during, and after exercising.

In addition, collision sports and diving should be avoided during pregnancy, and sports should not be engaged in sports lying down for more than 20 minutes, otherwise blood flow may not be smooth.

Chen Yuren, a rehabilitation specialist at Rensheng Rehabilitation Clinic, mentioned in the Facebook page "Renren Good Doctor - Rehabilitation Specialist Chen Yuren" and his personal website that many mothers-to-be are worried about whether exercising during pregnancy will affect their babies.

Medical research shows that as long as the mother does not have more complicated conditions, such as autoimmune diseases, diabetes, thyroid disease or complications of previous pregnancies, prenatal exercise "does not" increase miscarriage, premature birth or fetal growth retardation, etc. question.

Here are 7 other benefits of exercising during pregnancy:

●Reduce the chances of mothers experiencing postpartum depression.

●Reduce the possibility of low back pain during pregnancy and postpartum.

●More opportunities for safe natural production.

●Reduce excessive weight gain during pregnancy.

What should be paid attention to in prenatal exercise?

Chen Yuren said that in principle, the first three months of pregnancy are relatively unstable, and it is recommended to discuss the adjustment method of exercise with the doctor.

In addition, pay attention to hydration when exercising, and avoid exercising in humid and hot environments. It is recommended to replenish water before, during, and after exercising. Do not replenish water when you are already thirsty or the color of your urine has darkened.

He also reminded that during exercise during pregnancy, do not engage in sports lying down for more than 20 minutes, otherwise it may cause poor blood flow.

Chen Yuren reminded that collision sports and diving should be avoided before delivery. Aerobic exercise and muscle strength training are safe and beneficial to pregnant mothers in principle. Doctors recommend walking, stepping on stationary bicycles, aerobic exercise, and muscle strength training (such as using elastic bands), stretching, water exercises, and other prenatal exercises that can be done safely.

He also said that prenatal exercise is not only harmless to mothers and babies, but also very helpful.

As long as a detailed assessment and professional guidance are conducted, mothers who have exercise habits can continue to exercise with confidence, and mothers who have no exercise habits before delivery should take this opportunity to move.
