When did you stop exercise in third trimester?

Question

I’m having twins and still work out 5 days a week (or try to). At what point should I stop and just wait for the babies? It’s starting to get difficult and I get out of breath easily, and have Braxton Hicks contractions every workout. Also, I have a lot of painting and house projects to do before the babies arrive and I’m wondering if I should skip exercise and just focus on that.

Answer

I would stop now and focus on getting the house ready. Twins can come early and you don’t want to be caught unprepared

Answer

Listen to your body. I’m 37+2 and still working out 3-4x a week doing orangetheory (hiit workout). I plan to keep going til the day I give birth but I’ve def had to cut down on speeds and make modifications for strength exercises

Answer

Listen to your body. If it gets to be uncomfortable or you struggle too much with catching your breath. Maybe cut intensity down alittle. Good for you for continuing to train!

Answer

Never stopped. Went to the gym until the day I had him

Answer

All depends on what your doctor says and how you feel. I was weightlifting all the way up to the day I gave birth and my doctors were fine with it and it felt very comfortable to me.

Answer

Listen to your body and ask your doctor. I have 48 days left and wish I was allowed to workout! It gets harder as you get closer to the big day

Answer

I was having BH every time I went to the gym. I requested they put a hold on my account at 35 weeks (which just happened). The baby is also making it hard for me to take deep breaths 😩 but you know yourself best!

Answer

I did CrossFit until the day I gave birth. Just listen to your body
