The new evidence-based guideline outlines the right amount of physical activity women should get throughout pregnancy to promote maternal, fetal, and neonatal health.

Research shows the health benefits and safety of being active throughout pregnancy for both mother and baby. Physical activity is now seen as a critical part of a healthy pregnancy. Following the guideline can reduce the risk of pregnancy-related illnesses such as depression by at least 25%, and the risk of developing gestational diabetes, high blood pressure and preeclampsia by 40%.

Pregnant women should accumulate at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity each week over a minimum of three days per week; however, being active in a variety of ways every day is encouraged.   https://csepguidelines.ca/guidelines-for-pregnancy/

Nausea and vomiting

Perhaps the most challenging part of early pregnancy for many women is nausea and vomiting. Mild nausea and vomiting is a normal part of pregnancy. It usually starts around the sixth week of pregnancy and eases up by the 12th week. For some women, it persists throughout pregnancy. While it can be very unpleasant, the good news is that mild nausea and vomiting is not harmful to you or your unborn child. There are many ways of easing nausea and vomiting. Here are a few tips for managing nausea and vomiting that many women find helpful.

Why is dental health during pregnancy important?

It is important to take care of your teeth and gums during pregnancy for the following reasons:

  • Hormonal changes during pregnancy can affect your gums causing them to become more sensitive, swollen and red. This is called “pregnancy gingivitis” or gum disease.
  • Gingivitis can lead to more serious periodontal (gum and bone) disease without good oral care.
  • Poor dental health may affect the health of your developing baby. Research shows there may be a link between periodontal disease and having a pre-term or low-birth-weight baby. These babies are at greater risk of having developmental problems, asthma, ear infections, and may have a higher risk of infant death.
