The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends that healthy pregnant women exercise at least 30 minutes most days, if not all. Regular exercise during pregnancy can help with weight management, reduce the risk of gestational diabetes and other complications, and improve overall health. However, individualized exercise plans should be discussed with a healthcare provider to ensure safety for both the mother and the baby.
