The Claim
A regular exercise program during pregnancy should involve moderate-intensity physical activity for at least 20–30 minutes per day on most or all days of the week, with adjustments made based on medical guidance.
What the research says
Roughly balanced
Support and challenge are close. The picture may shift as more studies come in.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
If you're pregnant, it's a good idea to get moderate exercise like walking or swimming for about half an hour most days, but always check with your doctor to make sure it's safe for you.
