11 CAN I CONTINUE GOING TO MY FAVOURITE KICKBOXING CLASSES?

A big, punch-filled no! There is a chance of getting kicked in the abdomen and that is just not worth the risk. But exercise is great for you and your baby, so maybe switch to less dangerous exercises such as swimming or join a class designed for pregnant women. If you really enjoy kickboxing and can’t bear the thought of stopping, chat to your instructor on how you can personalise the exercise to suit your changing body. In your third trimester you can also experiment with doing your moves in water.
