Overwhelmed by the list of dos and don\u2019ts during pregnancy? Experts share six things that are surprisingly safe to do during pregnancy.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

The list of dos and don\u2019ts during pregnancy can be long and a bit overwhelming. But just because you\u2019re pregnant doesn\u2019t mean you have to give up everything you love. Experts reveal six things that are usually surprisingly safe to do during pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n

For many, pregnancy is an exciting time filled with a great deal of hope and inspiration. After all, you\u2019re growing a baby that will soon become a very special member of your family. What few people realize prior to becoming pregnant, however, are the worries that come along with the pregnancy package. Not only are you concerned about your baby\u2019s growth and development, but you are also likely worried about the safety dos and don\u2019ts during pregnancy that you should be following to facilitate the healthiest environment. Don\u2019t worry\u2014these fears and anxieties are completely normal.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cPregnancy is a delicate time for our bodies\u2014our shape changes and our bodies must adapt to having someone live inside us,\u201d explains Allison Rodgers<\/a>, M.D., OB\/GYN, reproductive endocrinologist at Fertility<\/a> Centers of Illinois. \u201cAlso, with a developing fetus, we want to ensure we do everything in our control to help with normal development.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

Why Are There So Many Dos and Don\u2019ts During Pregnancy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"dos<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

By the time you have your first prenatal<\/a> appointment with your prenatal care provider, you\u2019ve probably been fully informed about the laundry list of dos and don\u2019ts during pregnancy. Many of the things that are \u201coff-limits\u201d during pregnancy are out of an abundance of caution, explains Kathryn Berryman<\/a>, MD, Orlando-based perinatologist with AdventHealth Medical Group. \u201cFoods, beverages, and medicines may cross the placenta, and so anything consumed by a pregnant woman has the potential to affect the baby,\u201d she says. \u201cOften, there are things that are safe in small quantities, but in greater amounts could be concerning.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

Given the many things that are not considered safe for pregnancy, many pregnant women can feel overwhelmed and anxious. Lora Shahine<\/a>, MD, reproductive endocrinologist at Pacific NW Fertility in Seattle, Washington, and host of the Baby or Bust Podcast<\/a>, sees anxiety and worry in many of her pregnant patients, as a significant number of them have struggled to get pregnant for years and have already made lifestyle choices to optimize fertility. \u201cThe anxiety switches from fertility and conceiving to choices that improve chances of a healthy pregnancy and often increases with conflicting recommendations,\u201d she says.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

While there are definitely things you should avoid while pregnant, heightened anxiety during pregnancy over doing every little thing right can also have certain health risks for your baby, research shows<\/a>. In fact, it\u2019s important for moms-to-be to understand all of the many things they can<\/em> still do during pregnancy because, well, that list is much longer (believe it or not!). And despite popular belief, there are several surprisingly safe things you can do during pregnancy. We asked doctors to share some of them, below.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

6 Surprisingly Safe Things to Do During Pregnancy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"dos<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Exercising\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n

In normal, low-risk pregnancies, it is perfectly safe to exercise. In fact, most practitioners recommend that you continue to partake in any type of exercise you were doing pre-pregnancy. \u201cExercise is not only safe in low-risk pregnancies, but it can help limit excessive weight gain and can reduce the chances of developing gestational diabetes and gestational hypertension,\u201d explains Dr. Berryman. \u201cGetting hot and raising your heart rate is healthy, improves cardiovascular function, lowers blood pressure, and improves metabolism.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

Gentle forms of exercise that she recommends for low-risk pregnant women include walking, yoga, and swimming. \u201cFor someone who has been doing higher impact exercising like running, cycling, and gym classes, it is safe to continue,\u201d she adds. \u201cLifting weights at the gym or lifting heavy items in life is not dangerous, but women need to be careful about their body mechanics as they are more prone to pulling a muscle due to the physical changes of pregnancy.\u201d Exercises to avoid during pregnancy include those where you have the potential to get hurt: horseback riding, bike riding on the road, kickboxing, contact sports, and even tennis. Brown spotting after exercise when pregnant can occur, but if you notice bleeding or if you have any other symptoms (pain or contractions), contact your doctor ASAP<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

Having Sex<\/h3>\n\n\n

With most low-risk pregnancies, doctors give sex the thumbs up during pregnancy. It is worth noting, however, that intercourse, at times, can cause slight bleeding due to penetration and the penis brushing up against the cervix, notes Risa Klein<\/a>, Certified Nurse-Midwife, OB-GYN NP, Director of Midwifery at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a tip: \u201cNo hard thrusting especially in the third trimester, as you do not want to break the water sac,\u201d Klein says. But, overall, getting intimate when pregnant can be beneficial. \u201cSemen, rich in prostaglandins, can help soften and ripen the cervix for labor.\u201d Just make sure you wash your hands and urinate before and after sex to avoid UTIs. If you experience pain, inform your provider\u2014you may have a bacterial or yeast infection.<\/p>\n\n\n

Traveling<\/h3>\n\n\n

\u00a0The good news is that most practitioners give the OK for moms-to-be to travel up until week 36 so long as the pregnancy is healthy and low-risk. (You\u2019ve probably seen headlines of women giving birth mid-air\u2014this is why you\u2019re better off staying grounded past week 36.)<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cPregnant women should avoid prolonged periods of sitting, like on a trans-continental flight, due to the increased risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) associated with pregnancy,\u201d notes Dr. Berryman. \u201cIt is easy enough for women to wear compression socks and to plan to get up and walk every two hours during extended periods of travel.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

Drinking Coffee<\/h3>\n\n\n

Can you drink coffee while pregnant? Don\u2019t worry\u2014you don\u2019t have to ditch your morning (or afternoon) cup of joe. Caffeine, in moderation (up to 200\u00a0 milligrams per day) is safe for pregnancy, according to The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). <\/a>It is worth noting, however, that caffeine, in large amounts, can increase the risk of miscarriage, Dr. Berryman points out. \u201cMost people know that coffee has caffeine, but there is a wide variation in concentration depending on the brew and size\u2014for example, a grande coffee from Starbucks can have about 300 milligrams of caffeine,\u201d she says. \u201cSurprising sources of caffeine include dark chocolate, which can contain 30 milligrams of caffeine\u2014almost as much as a can of Coke!\u201d If you love coffee but want to play it safe, consider drinking more decaf coffee while pregnant.<\/p>\n\n\n

Getting your nails done<\/h3>\n\n\n

One lifestyle luxury you don\u2019t have to forgo during pregnancy? Getting your nails done\u2014whether you want a pedicure or a gel manicure while pregnant. Getting your nails done is safe, but it\u2019s a good idea to be especially choosy when it comes to which salon you go to. \u201cThe instruments that are used should be properly sterilized, so as to not become transmitters of hepatitis, causing open wounds on the skin, ports for other infections,\u201d says Klein. \u201cYou can bring your own tools, to ensure safety and cleanliness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

Women\u2019s Well Visits<\/h3>\n\n\n

Most wellness visits that you may have participated in prior to pregnancy, including chiropractor for alignment and nervous system, prenatal massage, prenatal exercises and yoga, acupuncture, osteopath, and physical therapy are safe during pregnancy so long as your practitioners know what you are expecting. Even the dentist is important\u2014and vital. \u201cIf you need a dental x-ray, however, be sure you are wearing an apron to cover your entire chest and abdomen,\u201d adds Klein.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

The Takeaway<\/h2>\n\n\n

Being pregnant doesn\u2019t mean you have to give up everything from your life pre-conception. Still, it\u2019s important to speak honestly with your doctor\u2014especially if you have a high-risk pregnancy\u2014to ensure you\u2019re doing everything to keep yourself and your baby as safe as possible.<\/p>\n\n
