In physical activities they are related to the heart rate, which is always connected to the umbilical cord.
That is, more tachycardic patients will have greater blood flow and the ideal is that the rate is not consistently higher than 120 beats per minute. In the case of activities that involve abdominal pressure, it is necessary to think about the pelvis.
The pelvic floor has a heavier weight than the uterine volume. This uterine height, the greater, the greater the weight on this pelvis. Based on this reinforcement, the activity is indicated for the patient. In the case of a natural birth or even a caesarean section, the pelvis must be strengthened.
If you are lifting a lot of pelvic weight, in the squat example, the excess weight is added to the baby’s weight. And being overweight can cause some risk of placental abruption.
In the case of patients who have previously exercised and are following a routine activity, there is greater flexibility with the type of exercise they will be able to continue doing.
Previously sedentary patients must have previous cardiorespiratory training to maintain this heart rate and be careful in reproducing physical exercise with muscle strength, to support what is being done and not cause injury, either to the muscles or during pregnancy.
Physical exercises for pregnant women
One of the best types of exercises for pregnant women are aquatic exercises because there is support for the abdomen, pelvis and pelvis weight. It is in these exercises that the pelvic floor problem is relieved. During this activity, the patient has a complete workout, training and muscle strengthening. In addition to stretching, pilates and yoga, which are indicated.
It’s about individuality and common sense. That is, it is necessary to pay attention to exercises with a lot of weight, exercises with an exaggerated impact and even competitions.
Ideally, there should be a close conversation with the obstetrician. Therefore, he will be calm and the patient will carry out the activity appropriately.
