@PregnancyActive To complement this work, the Good Practice Point resource - Promoting physical activity during pregnancy and the period following childbirth – has been updated to reflect the latest evidence, guidance, and examples of best practice.

[Sport England @Sport_England]

Sport England will work with @PregnancyActive, our new system partner, using an investment of more than £250,000 of National Lottery funding. We’ll work together to break down the barriers that often prevent women staying physically active during and after pregnancy.

Pregnant and post-natal women are one of the least active groups and are often underserved by the sport and physical activity sector – despite the critical role of physical activity in improving maternal and infant health.
