The Effect of Physical Activity During Pregnancy on Uterine and Fetal Parameters

This study investigates the relationship between physical activity levels and fetal health in the third trimester of pregnancy. Using the PPAQ and daily step counts, researchers will measure physical activity and examine its effects on uterine blood flow, fetal heart rate, and birth weight. The study hypothesizes that both inactivity and excessive activity may negatively impact fetal health. By focusing on overall activity levels rather than acute effects, this research aims to provide new insights to inform recommendations for a healthy pregnancy.
