Since most women feel their best during the second trimester, you can try exercises with a bit more strength and conditioning. For as long as you do not have complications, your doctor will most likely give you the go signal.

Swimming is a popular exercise choice because it is physically stimulating but relaxing for the nerves at the same time. At home, you can use a stationary bike or a treadmill to get your heart pumping. For a wider range of stretching routines, you can utilize a stability ball.

If you want a more interactive exercise regimen, you can play light sports, such as table football. However, it is best to avoid contact sports like basketball, soccer, ice hockey and boxing.
