Working out?

Question

Who's working out in their first trimester? I've always been an avid runner and gym rate but now I feel nervous. Didn't go for the first few days after finding out because I was too nervous but doc said it was fine so slowly trying to get my confidence.m back.

Answer

I have always just kept up normal activity

Answer

I like to run too, I've continued doing 3 mile runs. It's very safe as long as your body is use to it. You wouldn't want to start a new/strenuous activity. I stopped running during my last pregnancy when the first trimester fatigue got to me. I'm determined to keep it up this time, even if I have to dial it back a little. My good friend who is an OB physician ran during her pregnancy until she was 6-7 months along and everything was fine!  Good luck!

Answer

I still workout and do my regular routine of lifting 5 days a week plus cardio and I go on long runs on the weekend. I haven't seen my doctor yet (5 weeks pregnant), but exercise feels great and I have no doubts that my growing baby is safe in there! I never have any bad feeling physically while working out. Of course I am not trying to outdo myself anymore and go up in weights but rather stick to what I already do. I plan to continue doing this even though I know as my belly grows some exercises may be a little more tricky. I've read that exercise helps a lot for when you are actually giving birth, so I'd say stay active and consult your doctor! :)

Answer

Trying to. Had been out for a few weeks due to a nasty cold, but started back last week before we found out we were pregnant. Heading to the gym tonight!  I do crossfit (but I'm also a fat chick who still moves real slow!). Won't be doing box jumps and won't be trying to make gains with weights, but will still lift. Hoping to keep it up as long as I can.

Answer

I been told to continue what I been doing but not to do certain crunches after 4 months weight lifting and squats are good for labor and delivery

Answer

I am still working out and have been since I found out I was pregnant. Dr said it was fine just don't play contact sports or horseback ride. I spin, walk, and lift.

Answer

I am nervous about this too! I was told it was fine to work out but still scared. When weight lifting do you move to lighter weights? So many questions! Lol 
I'm not a heavy weight lifter by any means but still not sure 😳

Answer

I go to Orangetheory Fitness which is cardio and strength. It's really intense and heart rate zone based training. I contacted the infertility clinic with details about the program and my average/max heart rate during my workouts.  The nurse told me working out is fine, no restrictions, so I cautiously resumed my classes. Then a couple days later after my second HcG test I received a set of instructions that said not to raise my heart rate over 140 bpm, which is way below my average heart rate during class 😟. So many mixed messages. I'm going to double check with my doctor this week before I go back to class.

Answer

I'm still doing my regular workouts 👍🏼 which includes functional training/ Hirt and some Zumba. I just make sure I'm not overheating (which I sweat a ton usually) and that my breathing is controlled so I'm getting plenty of oxygen and don't feel dizzy. I found out about a week ago (I'm prob around 5 weeks) and I was very scared at first because I couldn't figure out why there around that many first trimester workout videos out there but realized that since you can't see any belly for the first few months (especially on the super fit ladies I follow on IG) they were actually doing their regular workout until they had to slow down through each month/ trimester.

Answer

I'm still working out daily, I do 30 min of cardio and lift weights for 30-45 min, and I do not lift more than 20 pounds (as directed by my OB)
