Should I be concerned?

Question

I am 10 weeks 5 days today and I feel really weak. I woke up feeling very well and went to the gym for an hour, had breakfast, took a nap and woke up feeling awful. Had lunch and no change in the weakness. Is this normal?

Answer

Maybe reel in your gym activity a bit or tame it down? Though I’m normally a devout gym-goer and am usually there for an hour a day five days a week, during my pregnancies my energy levels are far from what they normally are. Both pregnancies I’ve had to taper down my lifting to more like 2 days a week and substitute shorter and less taxing workouts. (More cardio and stretching, less strength)
I’m all for maintaining a very active pregnancy, but there’s a difference between being active/healthy and overdoing it, especially in the first trimester when women are typically suffering from a lot of fatigue in general. Good luck! I know it’s a narrow line to walk between staying relatively fit and listening to your body’s needs.
