How often are you working out while pregnant?

Question

I am having trouble with the energy and motivation where as I used to be a die hard workout girl. I am 18 weeks and already gained 10 lbs. I am worried of gaining too much weight.

Answer

Wish I could! I’ve had a complicated twin pregnancy and have been on/off bedrest since 16 weeks. Now things are great at 24 weeks but it’s not recommended I do anything to raise my heart rate. Excited to get back to moving more once the girls arrive. Not feeling guilty since rest and a stress-free environment is more important for them than a workout.

Answer

I gained 60 pounds during my first pregnancy, then lost pretty much all of it during the couple weeks after I gave birth. unless your doctor seems worried you're fine. get some sleep

Answer

I don’t think weight is as much of an issue compared to overall health. I’m 33 weeks and I still workout 5-6 days a week, yet I’ve gained about 30 pounds already. I also eat generally pretty healthy 70% of the time. The main thing is that you will feel a million times better if you do workout consistently. The hardest part is getting there, but after you’ll feel so much better. It’s so worth it, and it increases the blood flow to the baby so it’s really good for not only you but the baby too. Just get a routine going and prioritize your health first!

Answer

Who cares lol. My body is doing enough.

Answer

I stay on the third floor with NO ELEVATOR lol so that’s considered my workout 💀

Answer

I chase around a toddler all day. That’s my workout!

Answer

Don’t worry about gaining weight. Focus on eating healthy well balanced meals. Avoid fast food and fried foods. Go for walks if you feel like you can’t do your same old workout routines. If you’re on the smaller side to begin with, you’ll need to gain a certain amount. I lost all of my pregnancy weight the first time around after two months simply by walking and breastfeeding, I also didn’t do much other than walk. This time I’m adding body weight exercises but starting slow and walks. I’m going to talk to my doctor about jogging moving forward. I was doing it before but I want to double check to make sure I’m not having a high risk pregnancy

Answer

I dont know how people work out, work 40+ plus hours a week and have a clean house... I working tax season thinking pregnancy and taxes should be fine...but not even close. I wake up early get all dolled up for work then by the time I get home I go straight back to bed. Unfortunately that includes eating only once a day... never had much appetite prego or not.
