“…Sedentary activities (e.g., lying on the couch, watching TV) can limit social interactions with others, which, in turn, limits the occurrence of positive emotional experiences. Previous studies also found that perceived stress and sedentary behavior were positively associated during pregnancy, and perceived stress and anxiety levels were negatively associated with PA (Miranda et al, 2022; Sinclair et al, 2019). Thus, low PA levels and sedentary behavior might represent a risk factor for psychological disturbance among pregnant women.…”

“…A systematic review found that the optimal PA intensity among pregnant women should be based on their previous fitness level and medical and prenatal history (Ribeiro et al, 2021). Few women meet the recommended PA levels during pregnancy (Davis et al, 2022; Miranda et al, 2022); however, incorporating light‐intensity PA into daily routines does not involve many commitments and might help women establish improved PA habits, such as taking frequent breaks at work to walk or playing in the yard with children or pets. Engaging in excessive sedentary activities or sitting may result in uncomfortable physical and psychological symptoms during pregnancy.…”
