title: Exercise and pregnancy.
abstract: Evidence is beginning to appear that complications of pregnancy are fewer in the athlete than the non-athlete. Studies show that after childbirth, sports performance improves in a majority of women. A few activities could prove hazardous to the woman and her fetus. In view of the increased participation of women in sports and recreation, it is imperative that the benefits as well as the dangers are considered and discussed as part of prenatal care.
