My app shows steps and I am not sure what target is okay in pregnancy. I am in second trimester and feel fine walking, but too much makes my back ache. How much did you walk daily?
My mother said walking daily makes delivery easier and my doctor agreed in my case. I walked slowly morning and evening. But please get your doctor to okay it based on your reports first.
I aimed for around 5 to 6 thousand steps daily once my doctor said walking was safe for me. Some days less, some more, i listened to my body. Definitely confirm with your gynac first since every pregnancy is different.
Honestly between work and tiredness i did short walks twice a day instead of one long one. It added up. Even 20-30 min total is good if your doc agrees. Dont stress about exact steps.
Theres no fixed number really. I just walked comfortably daily, mostly evenings. If you can talk while walking without getting breathless, thats a good pace. Dont chase a step count, chase comfort.
Please check with your doctor before fixing any target. In my pregnancy i was told to keep it light because of a condition i had. What suits one woman may not suit another.
