Did you have trouble exercising in the first trimester? Did it get easier?

Question

I’m 9+6 days pregnant and I REALLY struggle to exercise. My symptoms are bad at the best of times, but when I try to exercise I get so dizzy and tired. 
Even just going for a 30 minute walk with my dog has me needing a sleep for a couple of hours. 
Please please please tell me it gets better after the first trimester. I don’t want to have too much weight gain during my pregnancy and I want to do my best at keeping me and the baby healthy.

Answer

1st trimester is always the worst for me. So tired all the time. Could sleep 24/7 if I was able to. Somewhere around 14/15 weeks I usually start feeling better and more up for excersise and normal activities.

Answer

Yes I was barely able to walk until about week 12 when my nausea decreased and my energy came back. Now I’m back to my regular routine! Taking advantage of it while I can :)

Answer

It was super hard for me in the first trimester I didn’t work out at all until 10 weeks and I slowly went back into it. By 15 weeks it gets way better. I’m 32 weeks now and still working out.

Answer

It gets better during the 2nd trimester, but then hard again during the 3rd.

Answer

Yes, with both of my pregnancies I exercised very little in the first trimester and was able to get back to it more regularly after that.
