Have you been regularly excercising/walking during your pregnancy??

Question

I have stayed active since a lot of people told me it helps you handle weight gain and helps your body adjust better during pregnancy. I have had minimal issues and this is my first pregnancy.

Answer

I still go to the gym 4-5 days a week. 3 days I walk at an incline and the other 2 I do strength training. Since i’m a ftm I have nothing to compare it to, but this pregnancy has been pretty easy. I am 33 weeks and I have no problems sleeping at night, no back problems, round ligament pain has been minimal, and i’ve had textbook weight gain. Don’t get me wrong- I am exhausted every day and getting there is a struggle but it feels better when I can get 35-40 mins of exercise in.

Answer

Of course it helps with those things! It does those things for non pregnant people too :) I wasn’t someone who worked out before pregnancy really so I didn’t start while pregnant but have had a really minimal healthy weight gain during pregnancy and feel good. I think it’s different for everyone and some of that could be diet as well and how many calories one eats per day. My eating habits haven’t really changed since before I was pregnant. Some weight gain can also be swelling/fluid retention. I think it all depends on the person and their individual factors that help them maintain a healthy weight in pregnancy and how they feel physically but as for working out or staying active that’s usually something that can only benefit you unless you’re over-doing it 🙂

Answer

the only excercise I do is walking and randomly dance.

Answer

Im unable to, it caused contractions so I’m supposed to be off my feet as much as possible. It’s killing me, as I was a very active gym user before 😞

Answer

I was going to the gym 3-4 days a week when I found out I was pregnant. We almost lost the baby a few times so I stopped working out and went on bed rest. Now OB is seeing me weekly because of placental issues. I'll start the gym again after I've healed from birth and moved into our new house.

Answer

Always feel better if I can get it in several times a week (might have something to do with built in stretching at the end of my walking and toning intervals workouts), but sometimes I do enough other physical stuff during the day that it sounds like torture (and then I’m sorry I didn’t🙄).

Answer

I tried in the beginning but it was impossible. I listened to my body and stopped.
