exercise for mama and baby’s heart health

mamas – please be committed to exercising!

you’ll feel better throughout your pregnancy, you’ll establish healthy routines, you’ll also be helping baby’s heart health

“A 2008 pilot study conducted by [Linda E. May, an exercise physiologist and anatomist] and her collaborators at KCUMB and the Kansas City University of Medicine found that pregnant women who exercised at least 30 minutes three times a week had fetuses with lower heart rates — a sign of heart health — during the final weeks of development.”

The researchers “revealed that the fetuses’ improved cardiovascular heart control is maintained one month after pregnancy, which indicates that mothers’ efforts to stay active have lasting effects. “

i’m going throw it out there that a baby with a strong heart will fare better during a stressful labor?
