Skiing and other sports that involve a risk of falling are no-nos during pregnancy. You should also avoid contact sports like soccer and basketball, and the pressure changes of high-altitude exercising or scuba diving.


Make your workout pregnancy-friendly by going for less intensity and shorter duration: lighter weights, jogging instead of sprinting, and prenatal yoga instead of Bikram.
