Of course, exercise isn't right for all pregnant women. Several factors must be considered, including your medical history and any complications you might have. Stop if you feel faint, dizzy or extremely tired. Don't exercise on your back after your fourth month of pregnancy. Be sure to drink water even if you aren't thirsty, since thirst may not strike until you lose a significant amount of fluid.
Dehydration can injure the baby.
