Fitness Tip

Go for walks regularly - at least twice a week or daily. Recommended walking time: 20 min to 1 hour according to your fitness level.
Go for a swim - freestyle or breaststroke preferable - at least once a week or daily. Amount of laps you do or time spent swimming depends on your fitness level (4-15 laps recommended).

Walking and swimming are forms of aerobic exercise. Aerobic exercise increases the blood flow in your body and therefore also increases the oxygenation of your baby.
