Physical activity is an essential role that all people should engaged, aerobic and muscle strength exercises are an easy to do where the benefits of it are great, prevention, treatment of disease and keeping fit in all stage of life even in pregnancy period and this exercises can be modify to suit physical condition of the pregnant womens
Pregnancy is a blessing from Allah that every woman wishes. Pregnancy it’s condition that many changes it happened on women bodies from the day of fertilization to the day after delivery of the baby and the popular effect in women bodies it’s the increment of body weight, as it's known that many women they didn’t control them weight and they become overweight or obese, in this condition the pregnant woman she will be in danger, many diseases start with increase of the body weight and it may lead to a serious health problems. Without controlling the body weight increment, woman with a normal weight it may become an overweight or even obese.
In general overweight and obesity one of prevalence public issue that affect many countries in the world where it’s observe in all ages, adults, adolescents, and children it maybe became a global epidemic , the impact of this issue has a strong relationship with mortality and morbidity also this relationship have been known for more than 2000 between health professionals[1-2]. body mass index (BMI) is the way that give a right measurement for the total body fat compare with body weight, the method for calculation by determining the body weight in kilogram and divide it by height in meter squared, this way determine the degree of overweight easy with a reliable number.
There are interventions that can control the body weight before pregnancy period, during pregnancy period and after it, but the most important intervention that we will cover it’s the physical activity or exercise and the advantages for this intervention on the mother health and the outcome also the disadvantages that it can happen if available.
Physical activity and exercise has a great impact on health status, where there are many study done to prove this relation. where health outcome in people with physical inactivity is a major problem in the world and specially in developed countries. In worldwide physical inactivity appear in a huge number where one out of every five adults is physically inactive and the long period of sitting independent show that is a risk factor for mortality[3]
The healthy body weight in pregnancy it depends on the body mass index (BMI) so the WHO classify the BMI into four categories underweight: <18.5 kg/m2, normal weight: 18.5-24.99 kg/m2, overweight: 25-29.9 kg/m2, and obese ≥30 kg/m2 [4-5]. With this category, recognizing every case will be easy and right grouping will be more accurate.
all pregnant women are included in all age and different country.

Abstract
1.2 Introduction:
Physical activity is an essential role that all people should
engaged, aerobic and muscle strength exercises are an easy to
do where the benefits of it are great, prevention, treatment of
disease and keeping fit in all stage of life even in pregnancy
period and this exercises can be modify to suit physical
condition of the pregnant womens
Pregnancy is a blessing from Allah that every woman wishes.
Pregnancy it’s condition that many changes it happened on
women bodies from the day of fertilization to the day after
delivery of the baby and the popular effect in women bodies it’s
the increment of body weight, as it's known that many women
they didn’t control them weight and they become overweight or
obese, in this condition the pregnant woman she will be in
danger, many diseases start with increase of the body weight
and it may lead to a serious health problems. Without
controlling the body weight increment, woman with a normal
weight it may become an overweight or even obese.
In general overweight and obesity one of prevalence public
issue that affect many countries in the world where it’s observe
in all ages, adults, adolescents, and children it maybe became a
global epidemic , the impact of this issue has a strong
relationship with mortality and morbidity also this relationship
have been known for more than 2000 between health
professionals[1-2]. body mass index (BMI) is the way that give
a right measurement for the total body fat compare with body
weight, the method for calculation by determining the body
weight in kilogram and divide it by height in meter squared,
this way determine the degree of overweight easy with a
2. reliable number.
There are interventions that can control the body weight before
pregnancy period, during pregnancy period and after it, but the
most important intervention that we will cover it’s the physical
activity or exercise and the advantages for this intervention on
the mother health and the outcome also the disadvantages that it
can happen if available.
Physical activity and exercise has a great impact on health
status, where there are many study done to prove this relation.
where health outcome in people with physical inactivity is a
major problem in the world and specially in developed
countries. In worldwide physical inactivity appear in a huge
number where one out of every five adults is physically inactive
and the long period of sitting independent show that is a risk
factor for mortality[3]
The healthy body weight in pregnancy it depends on the body
mass index (BMI) so the WHO classify the BMI into four
categories underweight: <18.5 kg/m2, normal weight: 18.5-
24.99 kg/m2, overweight: 25-29.9 kg/m2, and obese ≥30 kg/m2
[4-5]. With this category, recognizing every case will be easy
and right grouping will be more accurate.
all pregnant women are included in all age and different country
in normal weight, overweight, and obese women, the risk that
can appear during the pregnancy period with physical activities
and without it observed to understand the relation between
pregnancy and the physical activity as will as trying to answer
the question do the exercise and physical activities enhance
pregnancy outcome or it has a negative effects on pregnancy
that it may lead to abortion.

4.Aims and Objectives
The aims of this review is to finding the relation between the
physical activities and enhancing the outcome of pregnancy in
normal BMI women and overweight or obese.
Where the Objectives proving undesirable effect of overweight
and obesity on the mothers and fetus where the gestational

from it during pregnancy, hypertension that associated with
time of pregnancy, where the Prematurity and Miscarriage are
common between Feta’s that them mothers are obese
