Bridget Moynahan is staying very active even in her final days of pregnancy -- She is due to give birth this Friday to a baby boy and ex-boyfriend Tom Brady is the father. Hopefully Bridget is not pushing it too hard and you can pretty much bet that she is going to join the club of celeb moms who slim down quick after giving birth.
In case you're like Bridget and have a bun in the oven, use these tips for exercising safely while pregnant:
- Pregnant women can participate in low-impact aerobic activity three times per week, or even as often as every other day, but be sure to get clearance from your physician first.
- Walking is a great way to get in some low impact exercise that most pregnant women can engage in.

- Swimming is another great, low impact option for expecting moms. A lot of gyms offer water classes specifically for pregnant women, so be sure to check with your gym for availability.
- Watch the heat. Temperatures greater than 102.6 degrees Fahrenheit (39 degrees Celsius) could cause problems with the developing fetus - especially in the first trimester. So if it's hot out, hit the air conditioned gym instead.
- Don't push it; if you're feeling exhausted, don't try to exercise. Plain and simple.
- Move it at home. There are lots and lots of workout DVDs for pregnant women such as Patrea's Prenatal Fitness for the Entire Body ($14.99).
- When strength training, go for lower resistance with higher reps. Pregnancy is not the time to test your strength, you'll have plenty of time to do that when you're getting fit after giving birth. Also, it is a good idea to avoid weight training (and sit-ups as well) after the first trimester.
- Think about hiring a personal trainer who specializes in working with pregnant women. She would be able to create a program specifically to meet your needs.
Good luck Bridget! Can't wait to see the beautiful baby boy!

OMG is her stomach for real!?! No wonder I'm afraid to have kids!!
1She's having a basketball! Congrats!
2WoW shes SO tiny with a HUGE bump
hehe
3I'd seen these photos on another site. They made me worry a bit for her. It just seemed so close to her due date, which is supposedly tomorrow. She must be having a C-section since the date appears to be so firm and there's been also discussion of scheduling.
4i love her because she's cute, classy, and independent...even with this whole tom brady/gisele thing. when i saw these pictures i couldn't believe them! she has a huge belly and she is so little! the bump even looks a bit painful :-\
5LilPeaPod - I was thinking the EXACT same thing!!!!
6I guessed that she was having a boy by the way she is carrying. She looks ready to be done.
7That is the creepiest looking pregnancy...
8I think b/c she's so tiny it looks that much more exaggerated (her belly). Take Selma Hayek (and most people), she's fuller all over and it's not such a shocker to see.
9i wonder, how much weight has she gained?
10I think it's awesome. As long as she's not pushing too hard I say go to the gym until your water breaks!! Plus, it may help her keep her mind off things (hello child birth). I hope that when I'm pregnant I'm still doing a paired down version of my current work out.
11Holy Moly! Her bumb is GINORMOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never ever want to get preggers, it looks SO uncomfortable!!! It looks like you could take a needle to her stomach and pop it! haha! Ew, placenta.....HA! I just gave everyone a gross visual.
12OH she is so ready to go ! Look how she has dropped since that second pic(side view) w/ the gray top on.....
13everyone's looking at her bump?!
14i say look at her butt and legs! my friend's sister is a high school cheerleading captain and her thighs are still larger that bridget's. and bridget's 9 months pregnant! this can't be healthy...
She looks great! I have always liked her
15I wonder if she goes to the same gym that Jennifer Garner was photographed at. It looks like someone took these photos from inside the gym while she was working out. That is just too much of an invasion of privacy in my opinion.
16She doesn't look pregnant except in that alien looking belly. Wow.
17omg her bump is huge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
