Amy FindleyDebbie M SmithKathryn HeskethChris KeyworthPublished in: BMC pregnancy and childbirth (2020)
These findings contribute to the understanding of women's experiences of PA during pregnancy and post-partum, and their decision-making processes about PA during pregnancy. Developing accurate and tailored advice as part of midwifery care, that considers the physical and psychological aspects of engaging in PA during pregnancy, will help to ensure that women are supported to make informed decisions about their PA behaviour.
