Exercising after bedrest?

Question

I was diagnosed with a SCH at 9 weeks and told not to exercise until it cleared, which was at 20 weeks. Now I want to exercise (so I can get my pre-baby body back asap!) But I have no clue where to start. I've never regularly worked out except for walking my dog and sporadically doing squats when butt looked flat😅

Any advice? (Currently 21 weeks)

Answer

You should only exercise if you did it before you got pregnant.. At least 6mos before is the recommended timeframe

Answer

You have been on bedrest, I would take it easy! Start with walking the dog again and if that goes fine do some prenatal yoga. Now is not the time to start a exercise program.

Answer

Only gentle walking for short distances. Build up to doing it a couple of times a day and then slowly increase the distance. Keep the intensity really low though - so no hills or speed walking.
It's more important to have a healthy baby that stays put until full term than it is to get/stay trim during pregnancy.
