Second, does the sports fetus damage the fetus?

Many pregnant mothers have such concerns: the exercise will hurt the fetus in the womb. Therefore, during pregnancy, the body is taken care of, and everything is cautious, often lying or sitting.

Secondly, the amniotic fluid in the mother's body shakes with the movement of the pregnant mother, and the shaking amniotic fluid stimulates the skin of the fetal baby, as if to massage the fetal baby. Third, exercise enables the fetal baby's blood to obtain enough fresh oxygen to maintain the normal operation of the fetal baby's body functions.
