I am in my second trimester and everyone at home keeps saying walking is good, but nobody says how much is enough. Some days I can do only a short round after dinner and some days I feel more active. How many steps are others managing without feeling too tired?
After my C-section, walking was so tough initially yaar. But even small walks around the house helped me a lot during recovery. My doc said listen to your body, don't push it too much.
For me, exercise was a big part of my routine even before pregnancy. But during pregnancy, I made sure to get a clear green signal from my gynac for any activity, including walking or light yoga. She suggested moderate intensity for about 30 minutes, most days. So always check with your doc first!
I totally understand wanting to know the 'right' number of steps to walk. It shows you're such a loving mom already, wanting to do everything perfectly for your baby. Just listen to your body's whispers, dear, and do what feels gentle and good for both of you.
When I had morning sickness, walking felt impossible, forget steps! Honestly, on days I felt okay, I'd try to do a few hundred steps in the house. The key is hydration and not pushing if you feel nauseous. Just do what you can, don't worry about hitting a specific target.
Oh ho na, walking is really good during pregnancy. My gynac also recommended it. But don't go for fixed steps, just walk till you feel comfortable. Thoda break bhi le lo beech beech mein, haan na?
I had thyroid during my pregnancy, so my energy levels were quite up and down. My doc always emphasized following *her* advice for exercise, especially since thyroid can affect how much you can exert yourself. Best to ask your gynac specific to your condition.
Steps? Lol, I'm in my third trimester and getting out of bed itself feels like a marathon these days! Honestly, just walking to the fridge and back feels like an achievement. But my doc says even short, frequent walks are better than nothing. Maybe 2000-3000 steps max for me, depends on the day!
