physical activities during pregnancy
Hi, my wife is currently 2 months pregnant. Is there a specific set of physical activities that are restricted during pregnancy due to the potential risk of serious injury, and if so, what are they?

Answer:

Hello,

Some activities like contact sports like basketball and volleyball should be avoided in the first trimester.
Exercising in hot weather and hot water(hot yoga) also should be avoided.

Any activity that has a lot of jerky, bouncing movements that may cause the pregnant woman to fall should be avoided, and any sport in which you can get hit in the belly.

Thank you.
