I go for gym and do some weights regularly, and now we are trying for a baby. Not sure if I should slow down or keep going as usual. Anyone continued their workout while ttc?
Keeping a mild exercise routine like daily walking is great, just don't overdo it. I used to walk a lot when trying, but once I got pregnant, severe morning sickness hit me and I couldn't even stand up! So enjoy your active routine now, but be gentle with your body.
Of course you can exercise, sweetie, just don't stress too much about it! Light gym workouts, swimming, or yoga are great for blood circulation. Just don't go starting any heavy weight training suddenly, and keep things relaxed and fun.
Exercising gently is very good for keeping your mind and body peaceful. Do some light walks in nature, practice deep breathing, and stay positive. Trust that God has a plan for you, and keep yourself healthy and happy during this beautiful phase.
I can only share what worked for me, but I kept doing my regular home workouts and walks while we were trying. I just made sure not to push myself to the point of exhaustion. For me, staying active kept my mind off the stressful waiting game, and I conceived quite naturally.
I just had my baby last month, and I can tell you that staying active during the conception phase really helped my stamina. I used to do light yoga and daily brisk walks. It not only helped me conceive but also made my pregnancy and delivery much more manageable.
Yes, moderate exercise is actually really good while trying to conceive as it keeps you fit. I used to do light jogs and stretching when I was trying, but now in my 2nd trimester I've slowed down to just walking. Did any of you also feel super nervous about continuing workouts once you got that positive test?
According to research and my doctor, moderate physical activity like walking, swimming, or yoga is highly recommended when trying to conceive because it regulates hormones and reduces stress. However, my doctor advised avoiding high-intensity workouts or heavy weightlifting as it can sometimes affect ovulation. It is best to keep it balanced.
