Abstract
The paper considers modern ideas on prenatal physical activity, presents an analysis of the effects of systematic physical exercises on pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period, as well as on the psychological state of puerperas. The existing recommendations of the international professional communities on the issues of physical activity of pregnant women are highlighted and analyzed. The basic conditions, indications and contraindications for exercise at different gestational periods are outlined. Understanding of the benefits of adequate motor activity during pregnancy and their proper use is associated with an increase in the proportion of favorable obstetric and perinatal outcomes.
