    When my sister was pregnant her doctor had advised her to exercise regularly. The exercises were very simple and not tiring. However, they evidently trained the muscles of the abdomen and spine, which helped her greatly during the delivery. As I witnessed the results I am for pregnancy exercising and advise pregnant women to exercise.
