#5 – Contact Sports
Contact sports should be avoided completely by pregnant women. And this includes football and boxing. According to the American College of Obstetricians and gynecologists contact sports can increase the risk of placental abruption. The latter is a severe condition that can cause pregnancy loss, preterm birth, or stillbirth.
And that’s not everything! Pregnant women are also more prone to injury in this period of their lives than ever before and that’s because the hormonal changes they undertake can cause the ligaments to become looser.
