What should you consider before starting sports during pregnancy?
The optimal time to start training during pregnancy is considered to be the beginning of the second trimester. By this period, the woman's body has time to get used to the new state of health. You can start with 20-30-minute sessions, increase the load and duration gradually.
The training room must be well ventilated. If this is an outdoor sport, then damp, cold or hot weather is a reason to work out in the gym or at home. Overheating or hypothermia is highly undesirable.
Also make sure you wear the correct maternity gym clothing, made using seamless technology from breathable and stretchy fabrics with a special insert for your growing tummy. This is exactly what the Cache Coeur Woma line is. MONAMOON online store is the official representative of the French brand in Ukraine.
All products from this sports line are made from modern high-tech materials, created specifically for various sports and outdoor activities. Sports bras have XXL straps and guarantee reliable support for the breasts, they can be fastened in two ways: classic and crosswise. The bras are also equipped with detachable clips, so you can use them after childbirth. In leggings and sport panty, a special insert can be worn in two positions: up and down.
During exercise, it is very important to drink enough water and listen to your body. After the exercise, the expectant mother should not feel tired. In order for the sport to be useful for her and the baby, it should be done with pleasure.
What are the benefits of sports during pregnancy?

PRENATAL YOGA
Women expecting a baby are advised to practice prenatal yoga with an experienced instructor. If you have attended training before and you have no contraindications, you can start the course from the first trimester. Prenatal yoga will not harm the expectant mother and baby, particular attention is paid to breathing and relaxation. Yoga perfectly prepares the body for childbirth and has a beneficial effect on the development of the unborn child.
The main criterion for choosing clothes for prenatal yoga is convenience. Clothes should not squeeze and restrict movement when taking any position, which is especially important for expectant mothers. A sport bra and maternity seamless leggings in classic black color will ensure the most enjoyable and effective yoga class. And due to its basic and versatile color, leggings can also be used for a cozy home and trendy casual looks.

PRENATAL SWIMMING
Swimming is one of the favorite sports of expectant mothers because it is a great way to keep your body in good shape. Exercise in water relieves stress on the spine, trains the lungs, improves blood circulation, and helps fight edema. Give preference to back-stroke or breast-stroke swimming. You can also do special prenatal aqua aerobics. Water is a great shock absorber, so you will feel the desired lightness and have a great rest.
Maternity one-piece swimwear with wide straps is best for swimming in the pool. Make sure the model is well-sized, supports the breasts securely, and does not squeeze the tummy.
WALKING
If sports were not part of a woman's life before, pregnancy is not the time to experiment with physical activity. However, walking in the fresh air for 45-60 minutes does not require preliminary preparation. Regular promenades at a comfortable pace improve circulation and prevent varicose veins.
In summer, the basis of a suit for walking will be a maternity sport bra and seamless sport panty in gray color. In cool weather, sport panty can be replaced with maternity seamless leggings and a zip-up hoodie can be worn over the top. In winter, choose your clothes especially carefully and shorten the duration of your walks. Leggings can be the bottom layer of outfits with maternity joggers and the already mentioned hoodie. Comfortable sports shoes and warming accessories will complement the look.
