Want to share my thoughts and experience.
Yoga for pregnant women is probably the best way to prepare the body for the upcoming labor, and to facilitate the flow of the pregnancy itself. Toxemia, obesity, back pain, swelling, stretch marks - all these can be avoided simply with regular practice, starting from the first day though.
Yoga creates a positive environment for the developing baby from the start. Unlike other sports, yoga does not take away your energy, but on the contrary, adds it.
Asanas (yoga postures) strengthen the womb and it works more efficient during childbirth. They improve blood flow to the pelvic area, strengthen the pelvic muscles, train your spine, extending the internal volume of the uterus ensure proper blood circulation, create the necessary space for the movement of the child.
After yoga you will always feel renewed, both physically and mentally. Despite the pregnancy, the body will ease. A special breathing technique will give a new feeling - clean and easy breathing.
Special meditation to communicate with your baby will help to make contact with it.

Hi!
I am actually interested in this topic and thank you for providing this information.
I've recently read an article which says that after the first trimester you must not do asanas on your back and stretch muscles too much...
I'd like to know whether it is better to do yoga in class or at home? I'm afraid at home I can harm my baby.
Thanks ahead.
