Gym time.

I've noticed my body getting less and less attractive in my eyes. Everyone says I'm small, and I know it's mostly just baby but my arms are getting flabby along with my legs in comparison to the active body I had before. I use to work out before getting pregnant then stopped because first trimester was exhausting. Now I'm getting back into it (first day back at the gym!). For anyone that use to work out before pregnant, 6+ months ago, what's a good rule of thumb for lifting? Could I start working my way back up to my previous weights, or my body is so out of touch that it's best to just keep it low weights high reps until baby comes?

Just listen to your body. I'm able to do basically everything I did before I was pregnant. Still lifting the same amount in weight training. I just get tired a lot faster.

I don't think being put for the first trimester set you back too much but I would start light, and work up to a percentage of what you used to do. I'm around 75% or so

I strongly suggest checking out mom's gone strong. I was prepping for my kettlebell certificate before getting pregnant, I've managed to keep at it, but I've scaled back a lot. Pay attention to your body, pain isn't good, leave your ego at the door, remember to brace your abs when doing any lifts.

Forgot to mention: I have my next appointment on Tuesday where I plan to speak to my doctor for recommendations. Just wanted to see if anyone could speak from experience. Thank you!

Am I wrong to be upset? Last night I was running a fever, weak, tired, sore, my left boob feels like it got used as a punching bag. I asked my husband to call out of work today to help me with the kid so I could get some rest. He went to work. I texted him this morning. Part of me thinks I mean. The other part of me thinks I was fine for saying that because he should've stayed home with us.

Working out and weight gain.

Working out and weight gain. I've been going to the gym 3-4 times a week. 30 minutes of cardio and 25 of weights. I'm counting calories and I have been avoiding juice, soda, crappy foods and drinking a lot more water. I've gained 5 lbs. but my clothes fit better and dh says he can see a difference in my body. Why the heck am I gaining weight?!?!?! This isn't fair
