4 Practical Advice from Julie Who has Worked for Newfeel for 4 Years and is… a New Mum
"The most important thing for me is to have the correct bust support with a comfortable sports bra. To avoid your thighs chafing, wear close-fitting clothes that are breathable, and elastic-waisted so that your abdomen is not compressed. Finally, flexible, lightweight shoes which enable you to roll your foot correctly and that are comfortable enough for walking with baby!"
5 The Correct Posture for Practising Sport During Pregnancy
To practise active walking safely during pregnancy, here are a few simple precautions:wear comfortable shoes suitable for active walkingprotect your back by walking without a bag and on flat, soft ground, such as a woodland trail or a grassy footpathcontrol your breathing: you should be able to sing without feeling out of breathlimit the intensity and the duration of your sessions, because your baby also needs your oxygen!
6 Until When Can I Practise Active Walking During My Pregnancy
"Provided you are not suffering from raised blood pressure, active walking can be practised up to a few days before the birth." Dr Bacquaert adds however that "the uterus should not be dilated, weight gain and abdominal girth should not be too great."If you are in any doubt, consult your doctor before embarking on an active walking programme.
