“…Women in both groups ate much more fruit than is recommended, both at baseline and after those in the intervention group had received education. However, too much fruit can increase the risk of obesity and can even induce GDM [25]. The nut intake was higher than recommended values at baseline in both groups, but it subsequently fell among women who had received the intervention.…”

“…More than 50% of the women in our study reported regular exercise at least once a week during the third trimester. Walking as exercise was included in this question and was the activity reported most frequently [13]. The number of women participating in general fitness activities corresponds with results from another Scandinavian study of pregnant women [14].…”

The aims of the present study were to assess the number of women performing pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) during pregnancy and to compare the background variables in those exercising and in those who did not. Four hundred and sixty-seven pregnant women (response rate 84%), mean age 31.5 years (range 20-49), answered a questionnaire on general physical activity level during pregnancy including PFMT. The questionnaire was sent out in week 32 of gestation and answered within week 36. Twenty-four percent reported problems with urinary incontinence and 9% flatus/fecal incontinence. The percentages of pregnant women performing PFMT at least once a week before pregnancy and during trimesters 1, 2, and 3 were 7, 12.9, 17.6, and 17.4%, respectively. More women with lower prepregnancy BMI and with present and past pelvic girdle pain were performing regular PFMT. No significant differences were found in any other background variables. It is concluded that relatively few women perform regular PFMT during pregnancy. In conclusion, only 17% of pregnant Norwegian women reported performing PFMT during pregnancy.

ZusammenfassungKörperlich aktiv zu sein während der Schwangerschaft führt noch immer zu Verunsicherung und zu Fragen: Wie viel und welchen Sport soll eine Schwangere ausüben, welche Folgen entstehen für Mutter und Kind? Während der Schwangerschaft führen erhebliche physiologische Veränderun gen in der Hämodynamik, im Respirationstrakt, im muskuloskelettalen System, im Glukosestoff wechsel und im weiteren Endokrinium sowie in der Psyche zu tief greifenden Veränderungen, die sich mannigfaltig auf die Fitness und die sportliche Leistungsfähigkeit auswirken. Unter Berück sichtigung allgemeiner Trainingshinweise, Vorsichtsmaßnahmen und Kontraindikationen ist ein Training entsprechend dem Fitnessgrad der Mutter zum Erhalt physischer und psychischer Fit ness möglich und wünschenswert. Viele Sportarten (Joggen, Nordic Walking, Schwimmen, Rad fahren u. a.) können in einer Schwangerschaft ohne Risiko betrieben werden. Die Auflockerung des Bindegewebes und die konsekutiven Bandinstabilitäten müssen sorgfältig bezüglich der aero ben Belastbarkeit berücksichtigt werden. Die Verletzungsgefahren bestehen bei fortgeschrittener Schwangerschaft in einer direkten Traumatisierung des Feten. Durch regelmäßige körperliche Ak tivität wird ein gesünderer Lebensstil gepflegt, weiter wird schwangerschaftsbedingten Erkrankun gen und deren Folgen vorgebeugt. AbstractBeing physically active during pregnancy often leads to uncertainty and questions: how much and which kinds of sport are possible? Changes in fitness and physical performance in pregnant women arise due to many physiological changes in hemodynamics, the respiratory system, the musculo skeletal system, glucose metabolism, endocrinological feedback and also in the psyche. Consid ering general recommendations for training, careful measures and contraindications, moderate or even vigorous training is possible depending on the individual mother's fitness and desirable to maintain physical and emotional fitness. Many kinds of sport such as jogging, nordic walking, swimming and cycling can be carried on during pregnancy without risk and promote the health of both mother and child. However, the mother's increasing weight and the resultant instability of ligaments must be kept carefully in mind to create a moderate aerobic workload. The danger of injury is present in later pregnancy and may lead to fetal trauma. For the pregnant woman a seri ous injury also includes the risks involved in the diagnostics and therapy. Regular physical activity means paying regular attention to a healthy lifestyle. This prevents diabetes, obesity, hypertension, thromboembolic deseases and their consequences in the mother's life but also the child's wellbeing.
