After pregnancy, women's bodies will undergo changes, such as drowsiness, nausea, fatigue, vomiting, etc. Many pregnant women are worried that if they do not exercise throughout the pregnancy, will it lead to a larger fetus?
Not exercising throughout the entire pregnancy will not lead to a larger fetus, but if a pregnant woman eats a lot throughout the pregnancy, it may cause a larger fetus. Although not exercising will not cause the fetus to become larger, it can lead to obesity in pregnant women. Normally, the weight gain during the entire pregnancy is around 20-25 pounds. If not exercising throughout the pregnancy, it may increase to around 50-60 pounds. It will be difficult to recover after giving birth.
It is also possible to have complications such as diabetes and hypertension during pregnancy, which may affect the development of the fetus. So if you want the fetus to develop and grow healthily, it is also necessary to exercise appropriately during pregnancy. You can set aside a certain amount of time every day to take a walk in the park or do yoga exercises, which not only benefits fetal development but also prevents pregnant women from gaining weight.
If pregnant women are concerned about the fetus being too large, they can undergo regular prenatal check ups. Once a trend of fetal growth is detected, it is necessary to control their diet to avoid the fetus becoming a macrosomia. Otherwise, it will be unfavorable for pregnant women to give birth, especially vaginal delivery, which will be very difficult. If necessary, cesarean section may be chosen.
