Talk with your doctor about what exercise program is right for you. Your doctor can advise
you about limitations, warning signs, and any special considerations. Generally, you can
continue any exercise program or sport you participated in prior to pregnancy. Use caution,
however, and avoid sports or exercises where you might fall, or that involve jolting.
Pre-pregnancy bicycling, jogging, and cross-country skiing are good exercises to continue
during pregnancy.
