Exercise?

Question

So I'm now 13 weeks pregnant. Whenever I see my midwife / Dr they tell me to exercise but so far I've not been feeling upto it, but I'm worried if I don't it will effect my baby. Is there anyone here also not exercising?! Or, can anyone suggest something that won't make me feel worse?! Thank you!

Answer

A number of people I know had to go on bed rest for the last weeks of pregnancy so I am nervous about that happening! My husband and I made a pact that we would go for a walk every night.  Going around our block is about 1.2 miles, but sometimes I go half a block and get exhausted! I do what I can on any day, but every single day I at least get up and try to walk. 
Maybe just do a few laps around the house, or walk up a flight of stairs an extra time.  Its defiantly tough, but maybe do something small.

Answer

The best thing we can do is go for walks, especially if we weren't very active before. I've been feeling horrible because of morning (and night) sickness, and it's been SO hot here that walking any time during the day is not an option for me. I'm hoping in a couple weeks I'll feel better and it'll cool down. 
Just eat as healthy as you can for now. See what the second trimester brings. :)

Answer

I was told to exercise if you normally did before becoming pregnant and of you didn't exercise to not start anything new. I'm 12 weeks and because of feeling like crap I've only gone for a couple walks.
