Physical exercise: Pregnant women (IV)

In this new post I'm going to talk about the moment that the women must stop doing physical activity. According to the American Congress of Obstetricians & Gynecologists (ACOG) when the woman has the following symptons must stop physical activity:

1. Vaginal bleeding
2. Dyspnea before exercise
3. Dizziness
4. Headache
5. Chest pein
6. Muscle weakness
7. Swelling in gastroctemius (twins)
8. Premature birth
9. Decrease in fetal movement
10. Leakage of amniotic fluid

If we don't take into account this symptons the women and her fetus can be in risk. As I said in the preovious posts it's really important to contact with a professional physical activity and having the assessment of your medic.

Every so often makes a medical review to knows if the pregnant develops correctly.

In the next post I'll talk about neuromusculars fitness programs. Don't forget that we focus our posts  in pregnant women. 

We will continue writing about this issue in the next posts.

For any question, don't hesitate asking us. We will be glad to help you out with any doubt you have.

Thanks for reading.
