Out of shape!?

Question

I’ve been walking at least a mile, pushing my son in a stroller every day. Yesterday and today, it’s taken me like 20 mins of sitting/laying down when we get back to catch my breath and not feel dizzy! I also chase/carry my 17 month around all day and try to do light exercises here and there through the week.
I just cannot believe how dead and dizzy I feel after a walk!

Answer

Your little one of pushing up all your organs and putting pressure on your lungs and not to mention the extra weight. You have your little ones weight, your toddlers and your own your. At this stage in pregnancy is going to get harder and though you've been pregnant before last time you weren't chasing a toddler. I don't believe your out of shape. Maybe slow down a bit it's OK to take the walk slower or even short. Your doing amazing I'm no where near that active but I'm chasing 4 other kids and I gave up behind guilty about not doing certain stuff because they take almost every second of my day lol

Answer

I don’t think it’s the same as being out of shape. Baby growing pushes on your lungs aka less lung capacity. I’m sure there’s more reasons related to the increased blood content too. Lots of changes to our bodies and I’ve learned I get tired a lot quicker but i really feel like it’s from my body changing and growing 🥰

Answer

Yup I feel winded easily too- sometimes walking up the stairs I need to take a breather

Answer

You are doing awesome walking every day!!! Bring water to help with the dizziness, otherwise forgive yourself a bit. Your body is doing a lot and you should be proud of taking care of yourself.
