I totally agree! Prenatal yoga is amazing!
Quoting Owl_Feather:
P r e n a t a l Y o g a !!!! I don't know where Id be without it! I've practiced it since first month. I feel great....well...ok...I AM 9 months...but you know what I mean lol
I did all my regular exercising with my first. I have comcast cable and did the on-demand exercising. You can do pregnancy yoga and pilates. I did kickboxing and such until about 7mos along. As you get further along your muscles tend to be stretchier and you can hurt yourself if you aren't careful, so I slowed down after I pulled a major muscle in my 7mos and just walked til she was born. Make sure you okay everything with your OB too. If you feel cramping, out of breath, or start to bleed then stop. Always make sure you are very well hydrated too! Just be careful with jumping and lying on your stomach. Congrats on your new lil one!!!!!
Oh, and I know you can buy (maybe even rent) pregnancy exercises.
The BEST exercise I can recommend (after four pregnancies) is kegels (google it or lmk and I'll tell you what it is if you don't know).
Otherwise, careful stretching types of exercises and nothing that contracts your abs (that can start labor, until you can't contract your abs and you WANT to start labor, of course lol). Anything where there's no weight over your belly and you're not putting your weight on your belly.
This might be of some help:
A question for those who have kids close in age..
When was your due date and when did you give birth?
