Pregnancy and exercise allowed?

Hi all, my mother and MIL don’t allow me to exercise at all. Said it’s dangerous for baby. Used to be very active (6 times a week intensive exercise) pre-pregnancy but now I feel so useless and unfit. How to convince them to let me exercise?

I used to be like u. Workout 6 weeks per week HIIT. But due to pregnancy complication, i was told by my gynae to stop exercise entirely. Overall, it really depend on your body condition as well as an approval from gynae. If everything seem ok for u, i think is still fine to exercise. Preferably you might want to fine tune your workout (not too intensive) eg switch to yoga or pilates. Take this opportunity to explore a variety of exercises. It will benefit your baby and your health throughout your pregnancy journey. :)
