Yes, exercise during pregnancy is generally safe and highly recommended for most healthy women.

Here's a breakdown of the benefits and some things to keep in mind:

Always consult your doctor before starting or continuing an exercise program during pregnancy.

Listen to your body. If you experience any pain, dizziness, or shortness of breath, stop exercising and consult your doctor.

Modify your workouts as needed. Avoid high-impact activities, contact sports, and exercises that require lying flat on your back for extended periods.

Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of fluids before, during, and after your workouts.

Wear proper fitting clothing and supportive shoes.
