Hello,

Is it safe to exercise during pregnancy with a regular blood pressure of 140/90?

Dr. med. Ive Dr. Schaaf

Yes, you can, are allowed to, and should exercise. It is good to monitor blood pressure and regularly discuss it with your attending gynecologist. It will go significantly higher during exertion. This is normal and not harmful to the baby. All the best - Dr. Schaaf
