Hi..skipping is an exercise which may pose threat to initial pregnancy due to increased intra-abdominal pressure and jerk..so in case you are planning pregnancy and may be pregnant, its better to avoid skipping and instead opt for other light exercises such as brisk walking, swimming, yoga etc..and additionally start tablet folic acid 5 mg/day preconceptionally..
