Physiological changes until the third month of pregnancy generally does not have negative effects on the performance of the athlete. But, in more advanced stages of the competition is not compatible with pregnancy.
A pregnant woman can and should practice exercises that present no risk to mother and baby, because they increase maternal fitness. Always, regular exercises are better than intermittent activities.
Surfing in very cold water or very hot should also be avoided.
Pay attention to discomforts caused by physical activities. Avoid risks such as bicycle riding, jumping and abrupt movements. Very carefully, but nothing of inactivity!
