Is Pilates a safe form of exercise during pregnancy?
There is a lot of contradictory and confusing information with regards to exercise during pregnancy. This is due to the lack of research carried out in this field and also the very individual nature of pregnancy. Starting a new exercise programme during pregnancy is not recommended, especially during the first trimester. If you already attend a regular pilates class you should try to modify your existing exercise programme. If you have never done pilates before you are advised to see a suitably qualified practitioner on a one to one basis.
