How do you get your exercise? Sep 13th 2013, 08:53 Pregnancy is a time many moms find exercise and other healthy practices. Exercise has been shown to provide you with so many benefits during pregnancy. Moms who get physical find that they sleep better, gain weight appropriately, have fewer aches and pains and can even have shorter labors. That sounds like a great plan, doesn't it? Who doesn't want those benefits? The problem is that pregnancy also comes with several things that tend to zap our energy and sometimes makes us feel like we're not feeling so great, particularly in terms of moving around. Some quick examples of that would be fatigue and morning sickness. The trick is to try to get small amounts of exercise, even when you're not feeling up to full workouts.

Obviously, the more you do, the more benefit you get. What are you doing for exercise?
