Fatigue

Many women experience low-level tiredness throughout the first trimester and then again late in the third trimester. While it may seem counter-intuitive, having too much sleep might make women feel even more pooped. While many pregnant women report having trouble falling asleep, those who exercise regularly (as long as it's not too close to bedtime, as this might be too energetic) claim their sleep quality is higher and they wake up feeling more refreshed.

Constipation relief

An active body promotes active bowels. Some women are active by a vigorous 30 minutes of walk to keep them regularly fit, while others claim that even a 10 minutes stroll is sufficient. Regular exercise can help women cope with the physical changes that come with pregnancy while also increasing stamina.
