Hello.

Thanks for writing to us.
Starting any exercise now at full term is not advisable. After the delivery, you can start with a mild exercise regimen 6 weeks post delivery in consultation with your trainer. Yoga and jogging is usually recommended for the beginners.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.

Regards,
