Today we are discussing Exercise in Pregnancy.
There are so many benefits to exercising, and ultimately we want to ensure we are attempting to exercise regularly, and importantly, make it fun and enjoyable, or at the very least (for those non-exercisers), something you don’t hate!

Perhaps you have questions about whether you can continue certain exercise in pregnancy, like weight training, running, horse riding or skiing.

Or perhaps you have never really exercised before, and you just don’t really have the motivation to exercise. Or you are feeling tired/achey/sore/nauseous, the list goes on.
To join this discussion today, we have Dr Tom Cade who is an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist in full time private practice at Epworth Freemasons and St Vincent’s Private Hospitals in Melbourne. His obstetric area of practice encompasses everything from the most uncomplicated vaginal delivery through to high risk and complexity.
To see the previouos episode with Dr Tom Cade about gestational diabetes, see the link below.

In this episode today we will discuss:

• Benefits of exercising during pregnancy
• Is exercise safe during pregnancy?
• Does exercise cause spotting in early pregnancy?
• Can I run during pregnancy.
• Weight training safely during pregnancy.
• And finally
• What happens at that 6 week postnatal check prior to return to exercise
