Does working out help with fatigue & nausea?

Question

I'm 12 weeks plus now and I havent feel the greatest. I was just wondering if anyone works out during these times to feel better? Did it help with the fatigue and nausea? My biggest concern is that when I work out I tend to burn 300-400 calories (hiit with weights -i do this regularly before getting pregnant) and being at my nauseous state, I'm not sure if I'm able to consume back the calories. I'm also unintentionally losing weight during first trimester. Lost 2kg and my bmi is underweight. Really need some good advice to make myself feel better.

Answer

Maybe change your exercises to something abit more gentle, so your still staying active but not losing more weight. I’m not even doing anything part from dying in bed and I’ve lost 5kg 🙈😅

Answer

I’d suggest transitioning to prenatal exercises, especially if you’re losing weight. Exercising always makes my morning sickness worse, but does help with the fatigue.

Answer

I wouldn't advice HIIT workouts. Why don't you go swimming instead? If you are underweight I would think less is more for the work outs, but stuff like yoga and swimming, taking walks and stuff are still okay. In my opinion it lifts the mood, your libido and your general well being.

Answer

I can't do anything else than walking when pregnant because it takes too much energy 😅
It does help my mental health a bit, but that's about the effect it has that is noticeable for me 🤷🏻‍♀️
I would couønsult a doctor before doing too much exercise especially since you're underweight.. Being pregnant and underweight is no joke from my own experience 😩
