We have produced a series of activity-based resources packed with advice and top tips to support you on your active journey through pregnancy and beyond.

​

You can download and print them for FREE, and we recommend you take them

to your healthcare appointments if you have any additional questions.

Ask your healthcare professional about the UK Chief Medical Officers’ Physical Activity 

​

You may wish download them and take them along to your appointment. Many GPs and midwives have not seen the new guidelines, and it will give you an opportunity to discuss them.
