Pregnant women need to exercise, not only for the benefit of the fetus but also to alleviate some of the hardship during childbirth.
This isn't a doctor's order, but common sense.
Especially for those who have been through it, like Pei Xueke.
The reactions to pregnancy vary from person to person; some may have no symptoms from conception to birth. Others may experience symptoms concentrated in the first three months. And some may continue to experience symptoms right up until the end of pregnancy.
When Pei Xueke was pregnant with Li Feiyan, she vomited for eight or nine months and lay in bed for just as long. Due to the lack of activity during her pregnancy, she nearly had a difficult labor.
However, when she was pregnant with Li Huai, Pei Xueke had gained some experience. Despite the persistent vomiting, she insisted on exercising, and her childbirth was much smoother.
