How many of you are (or were) exercising in your second trimester? Im 20 weeks and today will be my second time attempting it.

Question

Answer

I really wanted to be active like I really did but man is pregnancy fatigue the W O R S T 😭

Answer

Does walking around the mall or target count? 😂

Answer

Once I got over the extreme exhaustion, I went back to exercising and stretching every couple of days. Should do every day, because it majorly helps with the pregnancy aches, but been busy cleaning and organizing, which means lots of lugging stuff up and down stairs (probably technically shouldn't be, but if I wait for my SO, it'll take 3 years, and I don't have 3 years).

Answer

I am 30 weeks and I stay pretty active, though I was never a gym rat or anything.  I try my best to walk as much as I can.  I park further from the store enterance so that I have to walk.  I try to get at least half a mile a day if not more.
 
And seriously, walking around the stores is a workout in itself!  Hahahaha.
 
I want to begin some basic prenatal yoga and stretches now that I am not working and baby is getting pretty big.  Yet we shall see 😜

Answer

First trimester I was so sick I didn't work out then ended up on pelvic rest and no working out. Now I'm feeling a little better and dr cleared me from pelvic rest and no working out but makes me nervous to start working out at almost 16 weeks pregnant. As I was always told you can do whatever you where doing before (i was working out before) but guessing 3.5 weeks off is a bit much. Idk I will b talking to my dr bout it soon

Answer

I tried I really did but between the sciatic nerve pain paralyzingly me, the fatigue, the nosebleeds when active and shooting pains that randomly burst through my vagina I get most my exercise getting up to pee 😂

Answer

I swim/water walk a little and take my dogs for walks. It's nothing compared to my previous-pregnancy work outs but it gets my body moving at least.

Answer

I'm 30w now & still walking 45-90 minutes a day (plus a second 20ish minute walk for our dogs) most days :) feeling pretty good!
