staying active during pregnancy.

edited March 2011 in Pregnant
Im on my 3rd..due 11/11...my first two i wasnt active but since my 2nd in 07 ive been active at the gym. Ive worked hard getting a 6 pack, down to size 3, and at the gym 5 days a week. Heres my problem now....im 8 weeks and exhausted. I have no desire to even walk let alone run. I want to go back to my pre-this-pregnancy body but am scared i wont be able to get my ass moving. I know the fatigue will let up soon but ive already gained 6 lbs and know its because of my ignoring the gym...Any ideas...

  • Take your kids with you walking that's what I do.... as soon as this snow stops! Hate Ohio. Love swimming while preggo too :)
  • Thankfully my kids are in school during the day...kindergarten and pre-school...i just cant get going..
  • As long as you are still trying to walk and get out I don't think it'll be an issue for ya.. mall walking is fun lol then you can people watch and window shop!
  • That's how I was in the beginning I'm 25 weeks now and try to get to the gym as often as I can. But trust me the energy comes back. I couldn't get out of bed the first trimester. Just hang in there
  • My kids are in school too they motivate me to get out for walks they love it :) especially after dinner.
  • 3rd trimester ....so lazy and tired!!
  • I'm 10 weeks pregnant with my second and I JUST got my pre-pregnancy body back by hitting the gym hard and eating a Clean diet a month before I found out I was pregnant with this little one. I've been so exhausted I can't do anything...plus I'm chasing a 13 month old. My diet has gone out the window too :( I havent gained any weight yet, but I know it will catch up to me soon enough if I don't get back to my diet and exercise routine. This morning I did it! Started out slow, hut got on the treadmill for a 30 min walk at an incline of 12 and 3.8 mph. I was feeling so good afterward that Iwent to the mall with my daughter and did some mall walking. I cleaned up my diet today too! My suggestion...just push yourself to do a little. Anytuing is better than nothing and maybe you'll feel better too. Good luck! :)
  • @ghettobetty I know! I live in Ohio too... just love how our weather changes soo much!
  • @shalia_n_newbaby I about died when I saw all the snow today. Like the middle of winter.... its almost April!!!
  • @ghettobetty I know! and I guess its supposed to again sum either Friday or Saturday along with rain.... I am not too happy
  • @shaila_n_newbaby booo! What part of Ohio are you in? I'm 30min south of Canton Akron area.
  • @ghettobetty oh ok I live in Lancaster its about 45 minutes away from Columbus
