Exercising regularly in pregnancy helps newborns develop stronger lungs and stave off asthma, research shows.
Scientists asked more than 800 women how active they were during pregnancy, then tested the lung function of their babies at three months old.
The study, by researchers at the University of Oslo, found that the children of women who did little exercise were twice as likely to have poor lung function.
Experts said the findings showed the importance of mothers-to-be remaining fit, both for their own health and their child's.
