I often get asked, is exercise safe during pregnancy? Not only is it generally safe, it's usually better than being sedentary during pregnancy. There are of course exceptions to that, but lets discuss... What does the research say?  Benefits of exercise in general for pregnancy: may reduce risk of pre-eclampsia (high blood pressure, which can be life threatening!) may reduce risk of gestational diabetes may reduce risk of c-section birth helps with managing stress and anxiety

I've had countless patients ask me "what's the BEST sleep position for when you're pregnant?"

First: there is no single "correct" way to sleep - everyone is different and there is no one size fits all solution.
