“…Increased physical activity in pregnant women in conjunction with a proper diet was connected with a lower risk of excessive weight gain in pregnancy, cesarean delivery, macrosomia, and neonatal respiratory morbidity [2], had a positive effect on the concentration of cholesterol, C-reactive protein (CRP), and blood pressure [3], and reduced the risk of preeclampsia [4] and gestational diabetes [5]. Regular exercise helped to maintain cardiovascular fitness levels throughout pregnancy, recovery of shape after childbirth [6], and improved sleep quality in pregnant women [7]. In case of miscarriage, women who were physically active reported significantly lower symptoms of depression compared to women who were not active [8].…”
