Pregnancy Waiver:

Physical activity during pregnancy has many health benefits and is generally not risky for you and your baby. But for some conditions, physical activity is not recommended.

Pre-Activity Pregnancy Questions & Considerations:

I understand that if I answer yes to any of the below listed questions, I must speak to my healthcare professional (e.g. GP or midwife) before I begin or continue to be physically active.

In this pregnancy, do I have:

• Mild, moderate or severe respiratory or cardiovascular diseases (e.g., chronic bronchitis)?
• Epilepsy that is not stable?
• Type 1 diabetes that is not stable or your blood sugar is outside of target ranges?
• Thyroid disease that is not stable or your thyroid function is outside of target ranges?
• An eating disorder(s) or malnutrition?
• Twins (28 weeks pregnant or later)? Or are you expecting triplets or higher multiple births? 
• Low red blood cell number (anemia) with high levels of fatigue and/or light-headedness?
• High blood pressure (preeclampsia, gestational hypertension, or chronic hypertension that is not stable)? 
• A baby that is growing slowly (intrauterine growth restriction)?
• Unexplained bleeding, ruptured membranes or labour before 37 weeks? 
• A placenta that is partially or completely covering the cervix (placenta previa)?
• Weak cervical tissue (incompetent cervix)? 
•  A stitch or tape to reinforce your cervix (cerclage)?

In previous pregnancies, have I had:

• Recurrent miscarriages (loss of baby before 20 weeks gestation two or more times)?

Any other medical condition or health concern or reason.
