Summary:The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recognized that sedentary lifestyle is a major health risk for women and published its first guidelines for exercise during pregnancy in 1985, with the latest update published in 2015.

Here, Perales et al summarize suggestions from current guidelines for exercise during pregnancy.
