Out of shape?? Currently 22 weeks and 6 days

Question

I am still very active during me pregnancy thus far, well as active as I can be. And today I decided I would try to go to the gym with my husband and I could only stretch and walk briskly on the treadmill for about 20 mins then I started to get weak and on of breath with some cramps. I had to sto does this mean I'm out of shape now that I'm pregnant!!

Answer

It's funny I can do certain workouts without getting too winded but yeah, going for a brisk walk seems hard! It's so weird! I've tried so hard to keep excercising, being active  and eating mostly good but I still feel huge and like I'm having trouble managing the weight gain! Being pregnant is haaaardddd!

Answer

I can't walk over a mile at a time at a 2.7 pace for maybe half of it! Prior to pregnancy I could do much more. For one for me, I was down and out for the first half of my pregnancy. I was able to workout maybe a cpl times a week around the start of the 2nd trimester. I know that has something to.do with my stength and endurance, or rather lack of. I occasionally do some prenatal workouts I found online and not only can I do them for the entire time without feeling like I'm gonna die but they're actually fun.

Answer

I am in pretty great shape, I do CrossFit and own a CrossFit gym actually. The workouts are fine for me...but when I walk up a flight of stairs or just walk briskly sometimes I have to stop bc I'm so out of breath. So if you were in good shape and have stayed active I think once you're heart isn't circulating 40-50% more blood like it does during pregnancy, you'll be fine.
