To exercise or not?

Question

I'm in my first trimester & I'm in a constant battle between heartburn/indigestion & nausea/vomiting, which in turn has me missing the gym (doc gave the OK). My question is, if i skip it completely until I pass the wonderful (sarcasm) stage, will I be able to return  when I reach my second trimester? I have a fear of gaining too much weight with this pregnancy since eating small meals helps keep the nausea at bay. & I feel silly calling my midwife just to ask her that. What to do?

Answer

First trimester has been too unpredictable for me to even want to go do any physical activity - the last thing I want is to be the girl running out of class to go puke. I'm already planning on getting back on it 2nd trimester!!!!💃🏽❤

Answer

I think you'll be able to return. It will be hard, but if you start out with low expectations and slowly work back into it, I think your body will remember petty quickly. And even if you never get back to where you were pre-pregnancy, every bit of exercise is good. Do whatever you can do. If you can go for a walk, do that. Or swim, or yoga, or whatever.
