Exercise while pregnant

Really depends on individuals. I had to stop all sports in my first trimester as I was bleeding a bit but once gynae cleared me for sports I went back to quite intense in second tri. But I had always been an athlete pretty much my whole life and discussed with gynae before the go ahead. Definitely don’t do contact sports throughout but in Muay Thai, boxing, or any martial arts, if you have very stable stance and you are throwing your controlled punches / kicks in the air, not to the punching bag, paddings, etc, can be done. Controlled is the key. Definitely not sparring. Also, you Really must know your body. I did similar things but I have also been more or less a high performance athlete for martial arts too and of course stopped immediately once I feel slightly breathless, so intensity of doing whatever sports is nothing like before being pregnant! Listen to the body, the baby and most importantly your gynae.. he/she has seen the baby’s growth, where all your vitals like placenta, etc are at so they can advice better. Be detailed with them. So when u tell them u wanna do Muay Thai tell them exactly what it is u r doing. Anything contact or unstable i m sure they would say no.
