Brief Answer:
Exercises advised
Detailed Answer:
Mainly she should do cardio which will increase her Basal metabolic rate and of course help in flexible routine with baby
Avoid stretching exercises as ligaments are relaxed at this stage so will be detrimental in long run.
Avoid treadmill and cross trainer but cycling is fine.
Yoga and meditation can be done too
