How do you still stay active..?

Question

I was wondering what’s your experience with staying active being so close to your due date? I had a nasty week of constant back pain and feeling really swollen (weather in Geneva is really warm!). Today I finally came back to swimming and it helped me enormously. I’m due on May 22, currently 33w4, ftm. Do you have any suggestions how to stay active and help feeling of swelling without overdoing it?

Answer

Due may 2 and have extremely
Slowed down. Honestly
Keeping up with my two toddlers is extremely
Tough. My four year old is an eloper and chasing him is almost impossible for me at this point.

Answer

I’m struggling with this too. If I move too much I get back and pelvic girdle pain. If I sit down too long I get the same but getting up is so hard to do! I’m due 15th May. I swell no matter what I do. If you get any good ideas, let me know.

Answer

Due may 21st🤦🏻‍♀️same . Whenever I do to much strenuous activity or just move constantly I get a weird ache and pain down in my hips and pelvis , baby feels so heavy and it hurts I’m not swelling too bad at all but when I sleep at night and get up the next day or to use the bathroom during the night the bottom of my feet are so sore . Pregnancy is so weird . Maybe talk to your doctor next visit and see what they think . I’m going to do the same at my apt Monday and if I find anything out I’ll respond here.

Answer

I’ve been walking 2km a day and busy cleaning for baby. I also try and stretch every night before bed. I stopped working so I could do these things. When I was working I was just too exhausted.

Answer

I’ve been walking my dogs, going to the gym and doing small circuits, YouTube videos for 3rd trimester yoga, and walking around the outdoor shopping plaza (there are plenty of benches all along the way if I get winded so I like to go people watch whenever I have some time to go slow)

Answer

Same! Due May 11th and my sides and back are aching whenever doing even the simplest task. This is my 3rd pregnancy though so they say with more kids, you experience more aches.

Answer

I talked with my dr because I was getting stretching pains on my sides and really sore at the end of the day. Dr basically told me to just tone down whatever I am doing. Your body is doing so much work and you will need to take it easy especially if your body is telling you to. Going to transition to more walks and less weights hoping I can continue to closer to my due date. 32w1d today!
