Tips for getting back into gym?

Question

Before I was pregnant I would go to the gym four times a week and work out an hour each time. Since becoming pregnant I am so sick and exhausted that I have only been one time each week and just for 30mins. 
Has anyone else experienced this? Did you just push through? Or did you gym more later in the pregnancy? 
I'm 7 weeks and 5 days today.

Answer

Honestly I’ll feel like crap and totally exhausted....  but once I workout I get energy!! So I make myself go to the gym and I feel 💯 percent better after. Just gotta rally!

Answer

First tri is the toughest. I say do what you can when you can. Anything is better than nothing. I usually pick up my exercise in the second tri.

Answer

I think you have to do what you can do and there's no point in beating yourself up about it... you're making a human! My first trimester I couldn't work out at all I was SO sleepy and nauseous. I bounced back at week 12 but haven't been to the gym for 6 weeks as it's really hot here (34 degrees celsius) and I work full time. I go on maternity leave in August for 2 months before baby is due so I plan on getting my strength back.

Answer

I basically felt like crap until week 9 I think, then I actually started swimming laps at the Polydium and around week 12 switch to the gym.

Answer

I switched to primarily home workouts so that if I had to stop (or needed to be sick) I didn’t feel like I’d wasted my time/energy/gas to the gym.
Secondly I allow myself to modify big time. Just today I threw up before my workout and told myself that I only had to do 2 sets instead of three. 
I make them short workouts. Mentally I’m too tired and can’t gear up for an hour + so 20-30 minutes is where it’s at.
Lastly I just remember that this phase will pass and if I don’t get as much in as I had hoped it will be ok.

Answer

Same here ! I am currently almost 11 weeks and I have stopped going to the gym because I literally don't have the energy. I still go on long walks 2-3 times a week or atleast try to get my 10,000 steps a day but the thought of lifting even a 5lb weight sounds impossible right now! I would suggest to just eat healthy and if your body is telling you it needs to rest then do what your body tells you to. And on the days you have the energy go to the gym! Don't push yourself too hard enjoy the pregnancy and the guilt free time we get to have of eating a little more and going to the gym a little less!
