#8 – Overeating and a Low Activity Level
Gaining extra pounds during pregnancy can be risky. It can cause fetal growth, birth complications, and maternal weight retention after giving birth.
That’s why it’s important to maintain an active lifestyle during pregnancy to provide both yourself and your baby with important physical and psychological benefits.
Healthy pregnant women are advised to exercise for half an hour a day up to 6 times a week. Even daily walking can help you maintain a healthy weight and make it easier for oxygen to reach your brain.
