    Exercise in pregnancy
    Regular light to moderate exercise for 20-30 minutes, 3 times a week is recommended. Swimming or brisk walking is ideal.

Exercise in pregnancy

Mild to moderate exercise in pregnancy is generally recommended by obstetricians. This is especially so if you exercised regularly before pregnancy. Avoid high impact activities as the joints and back are softer in pregnancy due to hormones. You should avoid exercise that is exhausting. Swimming and brisk walks are ideal. Yoga with an experienced pregnancy teacher is fine. A mild sensation of shortness of breath with exertion is usual in pregnancy, so be ready if this occurs.

Patient enquiries

Clinical questions
Clinical questions can’t safely and legally be answered by email – we generally need to see you. So phone us during office hours for an appointment. If you have already been a patient at Glengarry Hospital eg. you’ve had surgery, you can call the hospital if it’s related, or an emergency. Often times, advice can be given with a soon follow up appointment in the rooms.

Non-clinical queries
It’s usually best to give us a call as there usually several things to cover. Speak to Michelle, our practice manager, or Elaine or Allison, our practice receptionists.
