Activity During Pregnancy Does Make Heart Healthy Baby?
Everyone knows exercise is a good way to maintain stamina.
Not only that, the body can be even thinner and looks good.
Apparently, for pregnant women, exercise also has benefits. A new study reveals that when an expectant mother working hard or doing physical activity, her fetus will have the effect, ie, the fetal heart is getting stronger and healthier. At least no rhythm pounding heart slowed but steady. Thus disclosed in the annual meeting of Experimental Biology 2008 in San Diego.
"The study states that a mother's physical activity not only for the benefit of his own heart, but also beneficial to the fetal heart. As a result of longer studies have been done, we plan to continue research involving many pregnant women," said Linda E. May, from the Department of Anatomy at Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences.
10 women participated in this study, half of physical activity and others do not. Fetal movements such as breathing, body and mouth movements are monitored and recorded for 24 weeks.
The researchers found a slowing of heart rhythm that occurs significantly during these mothers do physical activity. While the fetal heart rhythm in women who do not move it much higher.
