Sports where you might have a hard fall or be thrown off-balance are not such a good idea. These may include horse-riding, skiing, gymnastics and waterskiing. Diving is also considered to be unsafe during pregnancy. Also be wary of ball sports such as football, tennis and squash simply because you may be hit in the stomach.

Most doctors and midwives recommend giving up cycling on the road after the second trimester. Even if you’re an experienced cyclist, there’s a potential danger if you fall off or happen to be knocked off your bike. You can, however, use an exercise bike throughout pregnancy as this is qite safe if you are already used to this type of exercise.

And after your exercise session you may want to indulge yourself in a lovely warm bath using some of our lovely organic products that are perfectly safe to use during pregnancy.
