Can I start using an elliptical at 17 weeks pregnant?

Question

As the title says I’m 17 weeks and I’ve already gained 25 pounds. I need to start doing light exercise and stop over eating but is it okay to start exercising at 17 weeks? I have an elliptical at home and I was also thinking of doing some pregnancy Yoga videos on your tube

Answer

If it’s light exercise id say it’s fine. I just really wouldn’t do it very intensely, stick to easy stuff for now. And listen to your body. If you feel like you should stop, stop

Answer

I just asked my doctor if I could use mine at 13 weeks. She said it was a good way to exercise.

Answer

Always consult with your doctor to be sure, but most light exercise, like walking is fine in pregnancy. Harder exercise is also okay in pregnancy only if you were already doing so prior to pregnancy. Elliptical is probably fine, but go slow to start and listen to your body.
