What exercise can test tube babies do during pregnancy?
IVF refers to the process of implanting embryos into the mother's uterus for pregnancy after in vitro fertilization. During this process, pregnant women need special care and precautions, including diet, rest and exercise. However, since IVF is a special mode of pregnancy, pregnant women need to pay attention to selecting appropriate exercise methods to ensure the health of mother and embryo.
So what exercise can test tube babies do during pregnancy? It will be elaborated from four aspects below.
Mild aerobic exercise
It is very beneficial for IVF babies to take mild aerobic exercise during pregnancy. Appropriate aerobic exercise can enhance heart and lung function, improve blood circulation, increase metabolic activity, and improve immunity. Suitable mild aerobic exercise includes walking, jogging, swimming and yoga.
First, walking is a very suitable exercise for IVF babies during pregnancy. Walking for 30 minutes every day can promote metabolism, increase cardiorespiratory function, and reduce the discomfort of pregnant women. Secondly, jogging is a kind of exercise that can improve heart rate and endurance. However, pregnant women need to reduce the intensity of exercise when jogging, and choose a flat ground to avoid the risk of falling or sprain.
In addition, swimming is a very suitable exercise for IVF babies during pregnancy. The buoyancy of water can reduce the weight of pregnant women, reduce the pressure on joints and back. At the same time, swimming can enhance cardiovascular and muscle strength and help pregnant women maintain a healthy weight. Finally, yoga is a kind of exercise that can promote the flexibility and balance of the body, and also help to relax the body and mind, and alleviate pregnancy discomfort.
Moderate strength training
Appropriate strength training during pregnancy can enhance muscle strength and ligament elasticity, and reduce discomfort and fatigue during pregnancy. Appropriate strength training includes simple weight training and yoga.
First of all, simple weight bearing training can help pregnant women strengthen their back muscles and reduce back pain. For example, you can use dumbbells for simple training of legs and arms. In addition, yoga is a systemic strength training method, which can help pregnant women maintain good posture and balance, and enhance the stability of core muscles.
However, pregnant women should pay attention to moderation and safety when carrying out strength training. You should choose the weight and strength that are suitable for you, and avoid overexertion or high-risk movements. You can find a professional yoga instructor or obstetrician's guidance to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the exercise.
Breathing exercises and relaxation exercises
Breathing exercises and relaxation exercises for IVF babies during pregnancy can help relieve stress, reduce anxiety and improve mood. Suitable breathing exercises include deep breathing and meditation, while relaxation exercises include yoga and Pilates.
Deep breathing is a simple breathing exercise that can help pregnant women relax, increase the amount of oxygen inhaled, and reduce anxiety and stress. Meditation is an exercise that trains mental concentration and improves inner peace by focusing on breathing and meditating on objects.
In addition, yoga and Pilates are very suitable for the relaxation exercise of IVF babies during pregnancy. They can not only improve physical flexibility and adjust posture, but also bring peace and relaxation to the mind through deep breathing and meditation.
Taboo sports
Although IVF babies can take proper exercise during pregnancy, some taboo exercises should be paid attention to to avoid adverse effects on embryos and pregnant women's health. Taboo sports include strenuous sports, high-risk sports and sports that keep the same posture for a long time.
Severe exercise may lead to high body temperature and excessive sweating of pregnant women, which may have a negative impact on embryos. High risk sports, such as intense ball games, skiing, rock climbing, etc., are likely to lead to falls or collisions, which may cause injuries to pregnancy. Movement that maintains the same posture for a long time, such as standing or sitting for a long time, is likely to cause low back pain and varicose veins of lower limbs.
In short, IVF babies have certain requirements for exercise during pregnancy. Proper exercise can increase the comfort of pregnant women, improve physical fitness, and promote the healthy development of embryos. However, attention should be paid to selecting appropriate exercise methods and following the doctor's advice and guidance. Only reasonable arrangement of exercise can ensure the smooth progress of IVF pregnancy.
