9. What Research Actually Says About Pregnancy Exercise—Straight from the 2019 Pregnancy Guidelines

In this episode of the Mother FIGRs podcast, I walk through the 2019 Canadian guidelines for physical activity during pregnancy. My focus is on translating research into practical, real-life advice for pregnant and postpartum women. I highlight the benefits of staying active, the importance of individualized plans, and I tackle some of the most common misconceptions around exercise risks. I also break down key recommendations for inactive women, outline contraindications, and emphasize the powerful mental and physical health benefits of maintaining movement throughout pregnancy.

Here is the link to the full guidelines: https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/59/8/515
