Major health organizations — including ACOG — recommend that pregnant women get at least 150 minutes of moderate activity per week. Walking is the most recommended form, because it's safe at every stage and easy to adjust as your body changes.
Regular walking during pregnancy has been shown to reduce gestational diabetes risk, lower the likelihood of excessive weight gain, improve sleep quality, and lead to shorter, less complicated labors.
Steps App lets you set a gentle daily step goal, track your activity without pressure, and celebrate the days you show up — even if it's just a slow stroll around the block. Every step forward counts.
Problems you know — and exactly how Steps App fixes them.
“My OB told me to walk 30 minutes a day but I have no idea if I'm actually doing it.”
Steps App converts your steps into walking time — so you can see exactly how many active minutes you've logged.
“I used to be very active but pregnancy has slowed me down and I feel guilty about it.”
Steps App tracks whatever movement you manage — even short, gentle walks count and are displayed with encouragement.
“I don't know how much walking is safe at different trimesters.”
See our pregnancy walking guide for research-backed trimester recommendations.
