Exercise during pregnancy?

Question

So I am now almost 26 weeks pregnant. I haven't worked out at all during this pregnancy and have gained a LOT of weight. I am huge with this pregnancy compared to my others with boys!! When I posted these pics on Facebook I had several people tell me that they were concerned cause it didn't look like I had much more room to grow... I was already so big! With 15 weeks to go I am now concerned!! Any one battling with this as well? Any work out suggestions?

Answer

Is your physician worried? If not, then you're okay!! I've exercised and am still up almost 20lbs at almost 27 weeks. 
I'm certain most of the individuals here are not doctors and as such are basing their views on themselves or their own opinions, neither of which should apply to you or your pregnancy. You look beautiful and happy and I wish you and baby all the best.

Talk to your doc about your weight. Are they weighing and measuring you? If it looks ok to them then you're fine for your size at this stage. I'd stay away from random people on an app saying you're too big for where you are in your pregnancy bc they happen to only gain 6 pounds (every body is different and every pregnancy is different). It's always good to do some walking and light exercise. You could ask your doc what you could ease into at this stage.

Answer

I'm right there with ya. I've gained a lot this pregnancy(3rd) & have zero motivation to exercise, but when I spoke with my dr about it, he didn't seem concerned in the slightest. As long as baby is healthy, he's happy. & FYI I think you look amazing!!

I just posted this reply on another thread and I tried to copy paste my text but it won't let me. I've screen shot my reply in two pics. Maybe you can piece them together.

Answer

I think you look great! As long as you and baby are happy and healthy, I think you're fine.

Answer

Following because I'm in a similar situation! FTM and 25+lbs gained at 26w, little to no exercise this entire pregnancy. 
I'm going to try walking a few miles a day and some yoga on other days. I want to get some resistance bands for arm and leg exercises but I don't want to introduce anything too strenuous going into 3rd trimester unless it's safe.

Answer

I'm 27 weeks and I have gained just over 30 pounds. I'm miserably hot and sweaty all day. No desire to exercise. I was my dogs with my husband every night and that's it.

Answer

This is my first pregnancy so I do not really have advice. However, it does appear as if you are a little too big. I'm 27 weeks exactly today and I've only gained 6 lbs so far. I've always been a small person so maybe that's why I haven't gained much weight. I also exercise very regularly and watch my diet. Maybe you can start an exercise regimen. Since your body is not used to exercising, I wouldn't suggest anything too intense. Maybe try a walk in the park or around the neighborhood. Have you tried talking with your physician? Also, keep in mind that everyone's body is different. I was concerned about my little weight gain, but my OB told me that everyone's body responds to pregnancy hormones differently.
