Have an easier labor (possibly)
The labor process may not be a cakewalk, but mothers who exercise during pregnancy tend to have shorter labors and are less likely to need medical interventions during labor (including C-sections).
Alleviate back pain
Back pain is one of the most common complaints during pregnancy and the best way to combat that pain is by developing strong abdominal muscles. Practicing pregnancy-safe exercises to strengthen the abs will help give the back the support it needs to carry the load in front.
Fight pregnancy fatigue
Low-level tiredness usually strikes in the first trimester and again in the third, bringing with it the desire to sleep more often to alleviate the fatigue. Believe it or not, sleeping more can make one feel more tired, but getting up and engaging in activity will help keep the fatigue away.
