Working Out While Pregnant

Hi everyone! I am 9 weeks pregnant and its my first pregnancy. I used to be very active before i got pregnant and is advised by gynae that i should not do sports. I do read and listen to some video which encourage workouts even as early as my pregnancy. Anyone working out within first trimester? Any tips?

Hi mommy! wat kinda exercises did u do pre pregnancy? its not advised to increase heartrate (HR) during pregnancy, as that will increase baby HR too. You can continue to keep fit but pls be mindful whilst doing so! Do exercises that are moderate and low in intensity; those that will allow u to maintain moderate HR & allow u to maintain conversation comfortably without being breathless... & stay away from ab crunching exercises or any body (stomach) folding movements.
