My mother-in-law insisted I rest completely. Honestly, with my pelvic pain, just getting out of bed was enough of a workout for me.

Expert guidance

Staying active during pregnancy helps manage weight, reduces pelvic pain, and prepares your body for labour. Pantai Hospitals recommends about 150 minutes of low-impact exercise weekly, such as walking, swimming, or prenatal yoga, while avoiding contact sports. What matters most is reaching this 150-minute goal through safe movements rather than pushing through exhaustion.
