If you are pregnant keeping active and taking some gentle exercise during your pregnancy can really boost your wellbeing. Exercise like swimming, a pregnancy yoga class or walking can all be great forms of exercise. You can find more information and guidance about taking exercise in pregnancy on the NHS website.

If you are pregnant or unsure about your physical health check with your GP before starting to exercise.

Leeds Girls Can has created a platform for pregnant women and new mums to help them identify safe and fun ways to get active. New mums could also join a social walking group like Ready Steady Mums.
