More than half of the participants (61.5%, n=16) were in their third trimester. Most of the participants participated in right-intensity activity (18-1±11.5 MET-hr/week) in the form of occupational type (42.2%,50.6140.8 MET-hr/week) while 31.5% were in inactivity category (37.7e28.3 MET-hr/week) 15.4% (n=4) of them have an EPOS score of more than 10 which signifies depressive symptoms.
