How are you feeling ?

Question

Hi, I’m 18 weeks pregnant and sometimes feel so slow and inflexible. I’ve never made this far in a pregnancy before so not sure how I should be feeling. Tying shoelaces is harder, going up the stairs is slower, I get out of breath on dog walks. I’m wondering is this is normal or if I should just pull myself together and get on it with. I can’t imagine what it’ll be like at 30+ weeks. How’s everyone else feeling?

Answer

Yes! What you’re feeling is normal. Try to roll with it and give yourself lots of grace. Your body is going through a massive undertaking, and you’ll slowly get even more tired and winded as the time nears to give birth. It’s okay! Walk as slow as you need, the doggos will understand. ;)

I'm 18 weeks as well with baby #2 and my first child is now 10 so I don't really remember all these little things that I've been experiencing with this pregnancy but I too feel put of breath a lot esp at work lol I also have a hard time bending over to pick things up and I'm very nervous to see what 30 weeks will look like for me as well since I'm already so worn out ! Lol

Answer

I’m 20 weeks and still feel like crap, stomach wise. So different than my first pregnancy- both boys. Hang in there!! Hope your energy is back at least

I do crossfit at home. I am 21 weeks now, but my 16 week was the worst. I felt like a whale, it was hard even getting out of bed. Now I am used to it and I can keep up with my exercise and daily tasks as usual. I am a FTM
