A member asked:
I like yoga to relax, but is it too high strain and dangerous while pregnant?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: There are different types of yoga. During pregnancy try to stay with the one which concentrates on more stretching and meditation. Keep your heart rate below 140 beats per minute, or blood will be diverted from the developing baby to provide oxygen to the muscles.
