Memory function is essential for optimal daily functioning. Emerging work demonstrates that memory function may be compromised during pregnancy. Encouragingly, exercise engagement may subserve memory function among various populations; however, limited research has evaluated whether exercise can attenuate memory impairment during pregnancy. This letter addresses this issue. Albeit limited, there is some research suggesting that exercise may alleviate this pregnancy-induced memory impairment, with mechanisms discussed herein. Future work in this under-investigated area is needed.
