Any other gym going December mommas?! I’m in the fit pregnancy group, but wanted to see if anyone in here is a fitness junky! ????
I am an avid gym goer, but have scaled back *bigtime* this time around. We got pregnant in December and my OB told me I could continue my regular gym activity as usual, just nothing more intense than my normal. So I did. Unfortunately that pregnancy ended in a miscarriage. I’m now going to a RE who said absolutely no working out the next few weeks. (This was an IUI baby). It’s killing me but I’m just letting my body rest and continuing to eat healthy. Hopefully I can slowly start up again after he gives me the green light!
I am a L&D RN and I highly recommend exercise during pregnancy!! Great job ladies, keep it up!!
I run and go to Pilates. I’m doing a 10k race in 2 weeks. After that I plan to slowly reduce my running but keep it going as long as possible. I go to Pilates once a week - planning on keeping it up but once it starts getting hard I’m gonna swap to pregnancy yoga as there is a class near me. Can’t wait!!! Last pregnancy I didn’t exercise at all! I started running after my son was born to lose the baby weight and loved it so kept it up
I'm not a gym goer but I do keep reasonably fit with lots and lots of walking and some exercise dvds but I am determined to do something in this pregnancy to try and keep some core strength. After I had my little boy, it was totally gone, I had no strength at all in my abs and it all made my back pretty sore - I felt like a little old lady. Think I may investigate some pregnancy yoga or something. All power to you fit ladies though- I have no doubt it all helps and pays off afterwards too.
And don’t get me wrong- I feel nervous the whole time (let’s be honest, i feel nervous doing ANYTHING right now ??) but I lifted and did cardio 4-5 days a week through my whole pregnancy with ds so I feel pretty confident in just continuing my routine and listening to my body.
I’m actually doing longer time with cardio but WAY less intensity! And with weights I’m just lifting slightly lighter and not doing anything that strains my belly at all and if I start feeling off I just stop and peace out lol!
With my first I worked out second and third trimester and my labor and delivery was pretty easy so this time I plan to do the same. First trimester I was too sick to move so waiting to see how that’s gonna go this time around... walk, run, bike, yoga. Keep up the inspiring good work ladies!
