Active expecting mama’s out there?

Question

This weekend we went on a backpacking trip. I’m so excited so I’m trying to get my mind off being pregnant. I feel like if I focus too much on it time goes by way too slow & I’ll drive myself crazy lol. I I try to exercise 30 min everyday or at least 5x per week. Is anyone else looking up exercises that are bad/good for baby?

Answer

I worked out until I was 34/35 weeks with my first. I would get clearance from your doctor, but my doctor was fine with me working out last time. I was active before my pregnancy and just modified some exercises and decreased my weights. I know once you get to your second trimester you should avoid exercises where you lay on your back. You also may need more breaks then usual but working out definitely helped with aches and pains I was feeling in my third trimester.

Answer

I did crossfit until 30 weeks with my first. As long as you're active before its fine, they just recommend not starting something new

Answer

Yes I’m a massive gym junkie ! 
Gyms are closed right now anyway where I am because of COVID. But I have been going for nice long walks every day.
I’m hoping once gyms open again I can go and train light weights.
I have the “sweat” app on my phone that has pregnancy approved workouts 😊

Answer

Different doctors say different things. For my first baby, my doctor recommended I keep doing hot yoga (just stay in a cooler spot in the room), run, do my usual aerobics, and stay as active as possible. He was born very healthy and I plan to do the same for this one. Lifted weight during my first pregnancy as well and had no issues. Just watch crunches, planks, and anything that strains your abdominal wall- it can lead to diastasis recti.
