Moderate exercise is very beneficial for ensuring the healthy functioning of the body. However, women often feel tired and unwilling to exercise during pregnancy, so the amount of exercise during this stage may be excessively reduced, which may be detrimental to the health of pregnancy. So, what are the hazards of less exercise during pregnancy?
1. Affects appetite. If a woman exercises too little during pregnancy, it can affect the normal functioning of her digestive system. Especially in early pregnancy, the increase in hormone secretion levels in women's bodies can have adverse effects on the digestive system. If there is too little exercise and frequent bed rest, it can lead to poorer gastrointestinal function, loss of appetite, and insufficient nutrient intake, which can be detrimental to pregnancy health.
2. Affects blood circulation and metabolism. Exercise can keep the body in a better state of function, promote blood circulation, and benefit metabolism. Frequent lack of exercise can lead to slowed down and obstructed blood circulation, which can also affect the supply of blood oxygen to the fetus and be detrimental to fetal growth and development.
3. Affects vaginal delivery. Pregnant women know that babies born naturally are healthier. If you don't exercise during pregnancy, it can lead to a decline in physical fitness. If you don't have enough physical strength to support the delivery process, it can affect vaginal delivery and even pose a risk of difficult labor due to physical exhaustion.
