6 Reasons to Exercise During Pregnancy

Everyone knows that exercise is good for your health. Exercising during pregnancy can have additional benefits. Generally, exercise should be light, especially during the first few weeks of pregnancy while your body adjusts to the changes. Heavy exercise can divert blood flow from crucial areas and most women that exercise regularly should tone down their workouts during pregnancy.

Walking, swimming, and yoga are two popular exercise activities suitable for pregnant women. Other forms of exercise like weight lifting are okay too as long as it is not too strenuous. Most experts recommend exercising 3-4 times a week, unless a medical condition prevents it. If in doubt, always consult a physician first. Listed below are some of the top reasons for exercising during pregnancy.

Exercise can reduce the length of labor and reduce recovery times. The right exercise routines will increase stamina needed for delivery.

Improve emotional health - exercise lowers stress and improves emotional health and can make it easier for the new mother to get through the experience of pregnancy.

Exercise can help with weight management after the child is born. A common concern with most mothers is losing weight after pregnancy. Exercising during pregnancy can make postpartum weight loss easier.

Exercise is good for your unborn baby. By keeping your body healthy, you are also helping out your baby.

Reduced pregnancy side effects - Symptoms like headaches, fatigue, swelling, and constipation are common in pregnant women. Exercising has been shown to reduce the occurence of these symptoms.

Decrease risk of premature birth - exercise has been shown in studies to decrease the risk of premature birth by about 50%.

Make sure to drink plenty of fluids before exercising, have a nutritious diet, and avoid over exertion. Also, listen to your body - if you start feeling sick or nauseous, then you should stop and rest.

Below are some basic guidelines for starting NuvaRing®. As with any birth control, you should talk to your doctor and consult the full prescribing information for more details.

See for yourself how easy it is to get started with NuvaRing®:

If you are switching to NuvaRing® from another hormonal birth control method

No matter which hormonal birth control you are currently using, it’s easy to make the switch to NuvaRing®. When exactly you begin NuvaRing® will depend on your specific birth control method. Below are some basic guidelines, but you should talk to your doctor and consult the full prescribing information for more details.

Switching from a pill (combination progestin and estrogen)
You can start NuvaRing® on any day—but the latest day you can begin on is the day after taking your last “inactive” (hormone-free) pill. If you have been using your birth control consistently and correctly, you should not need an extra birth control method when you transition.

Switching from a patch (combination progestin and estrogen)
You can start NuvaRing® on any day—but the latest day you can begin on is the one following your usual patch-free week. If you have been using your hormonal birth control consistently and correctly, you should not need an extra birth control method when you transition.

Switching from a mini-pill (progestogen-only)
You can start NuvaRing® on any day. During the first 7 days of using NuvaRing®, be sure to use an extra method of birth control (such as a condom or spermicide).

Switching from an injection (progestogen-only)
You should start NuvaRing® on the day when your next injection would be due. During the first 7 days of using NuvaRing®, be sure to use an extra method of birth control (such as a condom or spermicide).

Switching from an intrauterine system (IUS) or implant (progestogen-only)
You should start NuvaRing® on the day your IUS or implant is removed. During the first 7 days of using NuvaRing®, be sure to use an extra method of birth control (such as a condom or spermicide).

How does it work?

1. It mainly stops ovulation (release of eggs from ovaries).
2. It thickens the cervical mucus, making it difficult for sperm to pass through.
3. It does not disrupt existing pregnancy.

3. Breast-feeding mothers can feel safe, as it does not harm the quantity and quality of breast milk. It can be used by nursing mothers as soon as six weeks after childbirth.
   
   
4. It has no estrogen side effects. It does not increase the risk of estrogen related complications such as heart attack.
   
   
5. It helps prevent endomaterial cancer and uterine fibroids. It may also help prevent ovarian cancer.
   
   

Disadvantages:

1. Common side effects (not signs of sickness):
   Changes in menstrual bleeding are likely, including--- light spotting or bleeding, which is most common in the beginning. Heavy bleeding, though rare, too can occur in the beginning. Amenorrhea is a normal effect especially after the first year of use.
   
   
2. These injections may cause weight gain (average of 1-2 kilos, or 2-4 lbs., each year). Changes in the diet can prevent weight gain. But some women also see it as an advantage.

During Menstruation: A woman can start anytime she is reasonable certain that she is not pregnant. If started during the first seven days after the menstrual bleeding starts, and if she is still bleeding, no back up method is needed for extra protection.

Breast-feeding: It can be taken as early as six weeks after childbirth. If the woman is not breast-feeding after childbirth, it can be taken immediately or in the first six weeks after childbirth. She need not wait for her menstrual period to return. It can also be taken after six weeks, or any time it is reasonably certain that she is not pregnant. If not reasonably certain, then it is advisable to avoid sex, or use of condom or spermicide until her first periods begin and then start DMPA.

After miscarriage or abortion: It can be started immediately or in the first 7 days after either first or second trimester miscarriage or abortion, or later when reasonable certain that she is not pregnant.

Use of DMPA Injectibles:

1. They are very effective and safe.
2. Changes in vaginal bleeding are very normal. It is not harmful and not a sign of danger.

Condoms

A condom is a sheath or covering made to fit over a man’s erect penis. It is also called rubbers, sheaths, skins and prophylactics, and known by many different brand names. Most common condoms are made of thin latex rubber. Some condoms are coated with a dry lubricant or with spermicide. Different sizes, shapes, colors and textures maybe available.

Condoms help prevent both pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Used correctly, they keep sperm and any disease organisms in the semen out of the vagina. Condoms also stop any disease causing organisms from entering the penis.

To be highly effective, it must be used correctly every time. Many men do not use condoms correctly or do not use them every time they have sex. Thus, they may risk causing pregnancy, getting STDs, or giving STDs to their partners.

It is somewhat effective for preventing pregnancy as commonly used. 14 pregnancies per 100 women in the first year of use are the rate. However, when correctly used 3 pregnancies per 100 women have been recorded.

Advantages:

• It prevents STDs, HIV/AIDS, as well as pregnancy, when used correctly, with every act of sexual intercourse.
  
  
• It helps protect against conditions caused by STDs--- pelvic inflammatory disease, chronic pain and possibly cervical cancer in women, infertility in both men and women.
  
  
• Can be used to prevent STD infection during pregnancy.
  
  
• Can be used immediately after childbirth.
  --- No effect on breast milk (unlike combined oral contraceptives)
  --- Protect against infection in the uterus at a time when such infection occurs easily.
  
  
• It is safe and has no hormonal side effects.
  
  
• Can be used by men of all ages.
  
  
• Can be used without seeing a health care provider first.
  
  
• Often helps prevent premature ejaculation (helps the man last longer during sex.)

Disadvantages:

1. Latex condoms may cause itching or for a few people who are allergic to latex. In addition, some people maybe allergic to the lubricant on some brands of condoms.
   
   
2. May decrease sensation, making sex less enjoyable for either partner.
   
   
3. Couple must take time to put the condom on the erect penis before sex.
   
   
4. It may be embarrassing for some people to purchase, ask a partner to use, put on take off or throw away condoms.

Some important points to remember:

1. Condoms protect against pregnancy as well as sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), including HIV/AIDS.
   
   
2. Condoms work well when used correctly with every act of sexual intercourse. However, a condom cannot work when it is not used. Have a condom before you need it, and be sure to use it.
   
   
3. Condoms seldom break if properly used.
