Exercises in early pregnancy should focus on achieving flexibility, strength, and endurance, all of which will help to relieve some of your discomforts. Such exercises could include pelvic tilts, squats, yoga poses, leg lifts, brisk walking, swimming or prenatal aerobics classes.
Avoid exercises that put a strain on your lower abdomen and on the uterine ligaments. Avoid exercises which involve jumping and bouncing. It can help to do a warm up. Five minutes of stretching before your workout will help your muscles prepare for exertion. You should do the same at the end of the exercise too. You should try to do some stretches for cool down. For the last 5 minutes of your exercise switch to slower exercise and stretch any tight muscles.
You should take a break from exercising if you:
Dehydrated, feel hot, nauseous or feel dizzy, experience any vaginal discharge, bleeding, or abdominal or pelvic pain
