Working Out??

Question

Has anyone STARTED a workout regimen after getting pregnant?? 
I'll be 9 weeks tomorrow and have been exhausted and really nauseous so I've been really lazy, but I'm really craving some EXERCISE.
I didn't really exercise before I got pregnant, so idk what is okay to do.
I plan to talk to my dr at my next appt, but that's not until the 13th.

Answer

I swim laps. I don't even count. I just go back and forth for about 45 minutes. It's a total body workout and you hardly notice you're doing anything. My midwife said it's great because it strengthens and tones you're pelvic muscles too.

Answer

Most exercise is fine as long as you aren't working your and too hard or squaring with weights. I like Zumba during pregnancy and a lot of women swear by prenatal yoga.

Answer

You could start with walking until you see your PCP

Answer

My dr told me not to start a workout plan after getting pregnant. If you did kickboxing before you still can. But now isn't the time to start. I didn't exercise before much so she said stick to yoga and walking.

Answer

You can start gentle healthy low impact stuff, like prenatal yoga or water workouts.

My midwife says walk AT LEAST a mile a day too.

Answer

Thanks for the advice yall!!  I actually ordered a pregnancy yoga book this morning!!  So my hubby and I are going to start walking every day and I'm going to try to incorporate yoga atleast 3-5 times a week!  I used to LOVE yoga and did about an hour every day for years... So I'm hoping this will help with how achy and lethargic I've been feeling.
