Looks like Nicole Kidman is very strong willed and resolute to be in top shape for the upcoming delivery. After finally becoming pregnant following years of longing for a baby, however there are concerns that she may overdo her workout regime, now the doctors are warning that maybe she should slow down.
Kidman seems to be putting the equal unwavering effort into preparing for the birth as she does for a starring role, she has been spotted working out and leaving a at least three times in one week, under the supervision of a private trainer.
A lot fear that Nicole might be overdoing her routine. Now five months pregnant, she is still thin with a scarcely noticeable bump, and is keeping up her exercise routine despite regular trips between LA and Sydney.
Recent pictures of her shows that she is looking pale and exhausted, looks like she has begun to lose her hair also. Now apprehensions are increasing that the expectant star may put too much pressure on herself.
“There are guidelines you need to follow if you want to exercise when you are pregnant, there are certain rules to protect you and the baby,” says exercise scientist Martha Lourey Bird from the School of Public Health at the University of New South Wales. “It’s not a time to exercise to an extreme.”
The actress is presently taking a well-deserved break from acting, and with husband Keith Urban scheduled to go back to the US at the beginning of April for his tour with 24-year-old country singer Carrie Underwood, she is keeping herself busy with regular workouts.
Sydney’s Royal Hospital for Women recommends all women exercise at least three times a week, and says “if you already have a fitness routine, you can generally continue that routine” when you are pregnant.
Just a month and a half ago, The Australian newspaper reported Nicole went to an exercise class in Sydney’s eastern suburbs directly after having an scheduled time with her Macquarie Street obstetrician.
“The most important thing is to not get overheated. As your body temperature goes up and your heart rate goes up, so does the baby’s,” Martha explains. “But while you are able to cool down quickly in the air, it doesn’t happen the same way to the baby.”
