  • Title: Exercise and pregnancy in primary care.
    Author: Heffernan AE.
    Journal: Nurse Pract; 2000 Mar; 25(3):42, 49, 53-6 passim. PubMed ID: 10750120.
    Abstract:
    An increasing number of women exercise throughout pregnancy. New evidence illustrates that moderate intensity exercise in healthy pregnant women, with certain considerations, does not increase adverse pregnancy risks. Exercise during pregnancy may actually decrease pregnancy-associated discomforts and improve maternal fitness and well-being. By following the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommendations, clinicians can confidently prescribe exercise to women during preconception, pregnancy, and the postpartum period.
