Back at it.

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? I have my next appointment on Tuesday where I plan to speak to my doctor for recommendations!

The hormones during pregnancy can make you lose your tone so don't think they are gone for good. I had the same thing but they always came right back once my hormones rebalanced after birth.

I know how you feel. I've lost 15 lbs and it's all muscle and boobs. I feel like squishy and saggy looking. I've started trying to do more squats to get my butt back and low weights, high reps. I also try to hike or walk incline instead of just walk.

I stopped working out most of my first trimester and when I got back to working out I started off slow and using less weights than I had pre-pregnancy. Within 4 weeks I was back to my pre-pregnancy weights. Just start slow and listen to your body. If you regularly lifted before you'll probably get back to your normal routine in no time.

Let me know what your doctor says...I'm in the same boat. I'll be 21 weeks tomorrow and haven't been to the gym since 9 weeks.

Don't overdo it as your ligaments are looser as your body prepares itself for birth. Good luck!

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.

Opinions! I’m pregnant with my ex boyfriends third child it is our second together. Our daughter is 3, we split up a week before I found out I was pregnant. He doesn’t want to fix things. And I’ve been trying to sorta ask him to come home but found out some news that completely broke my heart. I sorta started to talk to someone that doesn’t live in my state but works around my area sometimes.. we spent some time together while he was here and he will be back in 3 weeks.. am I doing something wrong I feel weird I’m pregnant...
