U.S.-Mexico IVF Pregnancy Exercise Guide: Safe Workouts for a Healthy Delivery

After completing a U.S.-Mexico IVF cycle and achieving a successful pregnancy, moderate exercise can not only improve physical condition during pregnancy but also reduce the risk of complications and delivery issues. Studies have shown that appropriate workouts during pregnancy can help relieve digestive discomfort and constipation, improve mental health, and reduce anxiety, depression, and insomnia. Regular exercise also supports the development of healthy lifestyle habits, lowers the risk of gestational diabetes and hypertension, and may even help shorten postpartum hospital stays and reduce the likelihood of a cesarean section.

 

However, exercise during pregnancy should be approached with care in terms of intensity and safety. Pregnant women should avoid maintaining the same high-intensity training they had before pregnancy, and all workouts should be done under the guidance of a qualified physician. Competitive sports and exercising in hot, humid environments should be avoided to prevent dehydration and overheating. Each workout should ideally last between 15 and 40 minutes, and activities requiring balance should be avoided, especially in the later stages of pregnancy, to reduce the risk of falls or abdominal injury. Sudden changes in posture or prolonged static positions may cause dizziness or falls, so stability and gradual progression are essential during workouts.

 

Recommended safe activities include swimming, stationary cycling, and light to moderate walking—three times a week, 20 to 40 minutes per session. Muscle training can be done one to two times a week at 50% intensity, with 15 to 20 repetitions per set, focusing on the pelvic, abdominal, lumbar, and sternum areas. High-impact activities or contact sports—such as basketball, volleyball, badminton, tennis, and long jump—should be avoided, as they increase abdominal pressure and can pose safety risks during pregnancy.

 

Dr. Nathan Zhang, founder of IVF USA and Doctor of Medicine from the University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine, emphasizes that for women who are sedentary or exercise infrequently, pregnancy is not the best time to start a brand-new high-intensity workout routine. Instead, consider working with a professional trainer to follow a specialized exercise program designed for pregnancy and those preparing for conception, ensuring both maternal and fetal safety while supporting natural delivery and postpartum recovery.

During U.S.-Mexico IVF and U.S.-Mexico egg freezing, maintaining healthy exercise habits can help women better adapt to pregnancy changes and prepare physically and mentally for childbirth. IVF USA, founded by Dr. Nathan Zhang, has been providing overseas assisted reproductive consulting services for over a decade, offering U.S. egg freezing, U.S. IVF, and third-party reproductive services. With nearly 20 years of expertise in the international reproductive field, IVF USA has expanded into the Mexican market early on, becoming the official Chinese agent for Power Fertility Center (POWER IVF) in Mexico. Today, Dr. Nathan Zhang’s services extend beyond the U.S. to include Mexican IVF and egg freezing, as well as IVF and egg freezing in Japan, Thailand, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. Providing full-process support—from pre-pregnancy evaluation and personalized medication guidance to IVF implementation—IVF USA helps women who are preparing for pregnancy, considering egg freezing, or undergoing IVF-PGT to take a crucial step toward achieving their ideal reproductive outcome through thoughtful exercise and health management planning.
