Hey there! It would have bad impact. Even simpler gyming should be avoided post 6 months pregnancy. Be it that one is a professional in this field such as weight lifter or plays any sorts, one can do simple gym routines with a trainer, as it is a requirement of such body type. Otherwise avoid.
Next Steps
simple daily walk advised.
Health Tips
Avoid as it might lead to amniotic fluid leakage.
