Lazy during pregnancy?

Question

Before I got pregnant, I always said that I would stay super fit and keep doing my work outs once I got pregnant. Now that I am, I can't get the motivation to do more than stretching! I wanted to be this amazing pregnant yogi lady and now I'm just lazy all the time. I'm disappointed in myself that I'm not the pregnant woman I wanted to be, but I can't help it. I'm too tired!!

Is anyone else feeling this same way? Any ideas for getting out of this rut?

Answer

Meeeee!!!! I was a SUPER active, fitness-obsessed, naturally high-energy person. Now I am often fatigued & offen nauseous. I do the occasional yoga class or DVD, but I am a totally lazy ass preggo :)

Not letting myself feel too bad about it. My body is telling me what I need, & I am actually getting sleep. I can be "me" once my little one isn't controlling my hormones anymore!

Answer

It's hard,  don't best yourself up, our bodies are using tons of energy to keep the lil peanuts growing and happy.   I'm sooooo tired all the time

Answer

I was a fitness competitor and was in the gym 7 days a week and now I'm lazy as sin!!! I know better and now I've got cellulite and my legs have ballooned ... So I'm in ur boat .. I have great ideas of just going to the gym to spin or lift and I'm like no lifetime and couch are good ugh!!!

Answer

My motivation, even when I was exhausted was knowing the longer I can go maintaining my exercise regime while I'm pregnant meant less time to get my body back later. Even if it's a quick workout before work, I manage to do it. Don't feel guilty, I'm older so my body likely won't bounce back so easily

Answer

Omg this is me to a T! I can't help it though since the pregnancy has caused some major health problems and have been put on pelvic rest as a modified bed rest ugh
I just hate feeling like this though! We can't help it though and don't beat yourself up about it. You're doing what your body might need and that's to relax and take it easy :)

Answer

I haven't lost my motivation to walk. I have a Fitbit so I make sure to always get my 10,000 steps a day - even getting up at 5:30 every morning to walk on the treadmill. My problem is eating, I just want to eat EVERYTHING! I told myself I would eat healthier this second time around. But it's soooo hard! So even though I'm very active I've already gained 20 lbs! (I'm average size normally.)

Answer

Sorry meant to say hang in there. You're not the only one. I meditate and if I didn't have a 16 month old I'd probably be trying a very light work out for the for the endorphines. But I know how hard that is to do.

Answer

I'm beyond lazy and often depressed because I feel like such a slug.  I used to be a d-1 athlete and in my adult life I run 20-25 miles a week.  I was bedridden during the first trimester of my first pregnancy.This second one is better but I sleep a ton and have to sit down all day long. I can barely cook a meal. I can hardly socialize.  I guess everyone's pregnancy is different. Though this time around I know that when I weaned I lost weight and got a ton of energy back and felt great.  But then I got pregnant immediately after. Ha. Oh well.
