I used to go gym regularly before and dont wanna lose all my fitness. Now im 10 weeks and confused if i can continue. Doc didnt say much. Anyone kept working out safely?
Before pregnancy, I was quite active, but during, my doctor advised me to switch to lighter activities. Walking and prenatal yoga were my go-tos. It's always best to get a clear go-ahead from your gynac, as everyone's body and pregnancy is different.
My doctor actually encouraged me to stay active, but said only light cardio and specific prenatal exercises. No heavy lifting or anything that increases core temperature too much. I'm doing gentle yoga. What kind of gym activities were you thinking of doing?
During my pregnancy, my doctor specifically told me to stick to light walks and stretching at home, no gym for me. But I know some people who continued with very modified routines. So, I would say, it really depends on your individual health and what your doctor recommends. Don't take general advice.
Haan, you can do some gym activities but ONLY if your doctor approves it and guides you. I used to go to the gym but then switched to walking and some gentle stretching as per my gynac's advice. Listening to your body and your doctor is key throughout pregnancy.
Gym is a big NO unless your doctor specifically clears you for *modified* exercises. Don't just follow what others are doing. Your pregnancy is unique. Safety first, always ask your gynac before starting any new exercise routine, especially in the gym.
It really depends on your pre-pregnancy fitness levels and any complications. If you were active before, your doctor might allow modified workouts. But it's not a green light for everyone. Please, please consult your gynac first. They'll tell you what's safe and what to avoid, like heavy weights or high-impact stuff.
