And with this being Pippa’s first, she wanted to make sure she could still continue her daily exercise routine. “I’ve noticed my body change, but through exercise I feel it’s being strengthened,” she shared. “I’m fanatical about sport and have looked at loads of books and websites on exercise during pregnancy but have been disappointed by the limited technical information [on] what you can and can’t do.”
