Need advise ? Nervous about Working Out

Question

My SO and me found out earlier this week we are expecting our first child. We go to the doctor tomorrow but I️ don’t see my GYN till feb 4th. We both workout out (lifting and cardio) almost daily but now I’m having a lot of anxiety about doing anything. I’m worried about my heart rate and the fact that I’m overweight. I️ eat good and track everything but still a work in progress. Please help. I️ want to work out but I’m so nervous and I️ don’t want to hurt the baby. :(

Answer

Anything you were doing prior to becoming pregnant you can continue. 
You do need to watch your body temperature, making sure not to overheat & ensure you take regular breaks

Answer

Ok ladies, doctor said no running but elliptical and bike is fine, weights are fine just don’t exhaust myself and try to keep my heart rate around 130 max.

Answer

I’ve continued my workouts! When I got to 16 weeks I needed to modify my exercises.. no more lying on my back! But I’m still working out 6x a week lifting and running :-)

Answer

Do body weight exercises..

Answer

Generally it’s safe to continue normal routines in your first trimester. 
After that I modify workouts to prevent Diastasis Recti.
Talk to your doctor and see what they recommend for you. I was told it was okay to continue mountain biking in my second trimester as long I stopped hitting jumps 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

What about spinning? Is that safe?

Answer

If you have any questions you can still call the obgyn office and ask them they will put a nurse on the phone to answer your questions and you can google all your questions as well!!! Good luck and I hope you have a healthy 9 months!!!

Answer

just don't push yourself too hard, don't work so hard you're gasping for air, but exercise is very healthy for you and baby
