Exercise okay?

Question

Hello!
I'm in my first trimester (6 weeks, 4 days) and was curious to hear thoughts on how active I can remain during these first 12 weeks. I'm a fitness instructor (side job) so I've always been very active. I don't want to stop that if I don't have to and I feel totally fine to keep doing it. But I want to stay safe of course. Any thoughts would be helpful!

Answer

It's safe - just listen to your body if you start getting tired

Answer

You can do most of what you were doing before you got pregnant. I lifted and did cardio (albeit at a lower intensity as pregnancy went on) throughout my entire pregnancy until the night before I went to the hospital. Come to find out I was IN labor during my final workout and was doing 100 lbs on incline bench.

Answer

My doctor said that I could do anything that I was doing before being pregnant. If you're an active person then it will definitely be better for you and the baby if you stay active

Answer

Yes! Definitely.

I work out and I plan to continue to workout when I become pregnant.  My doctor says it is 100% fine especially because I have worked out pre-pregnancy. She did tell me to just be mindful of overheating.  If you can't talk while doing cardio, you should take it a little easier.

Answer

I didn't change anything in first trimester as far as types of exercise  (spin, yoga, megareformer,  weight, cardio) but I did have to eat more, drink mire and my cardio came down a notch. Listen to your body ...this isn't the time to ramp up. As your pregnancy continues you'll find you back off more and more.
