Being physically active during pregnancy is safe, and can help reduce the risk of developing gestational diabetes, reduce depression, and can provide a great foundation to return to pre-pregnancy weight in the postpartum period.
To normalise an active lifestyle, throughout motherhood, we recognise that everyone has an opportunity to promote physical activity.
A new campaign has been developed so that healthcare professionals can talk openly with expectant and new mums, just like you, to offer advice on how to exercise safely.
Find out how much you need, which types of exercise you can safely do and what to avoid.
Take a look at our This Girl Can Essex ambassadors, who have many stories to share on how they continued to move, during pregnancy or post-natal period.
Building on this, Moving Medicine have partnered with the This Girl Can national campaign team, and the Active Pregnancy Foundation to develop a suite or resources and training to support women during this period
