Spring is the season of new life, change and starting afresh and so it's an ideal time for a woman to follow in the footsteps of the birds and the bees and start a family of her own. 

Janice Rymer, Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Guy’s and Thomas’ Hospital tells soFeminine how you can remain fit and healthy during pregnancy.
