I used to do gym and walking before but stopped after I found out. Now im 14 weeks and feeling fine, wanna start light exercise again. How much is safe yaar, dont wanna overdo.
I'm currently in my 20th week and trying to do light prenatal yoga, but I get tired so fast. How do you guys manage to stay active? Is it normal to feel like just lying down all day?
A 30-minute light walk or gentle yoga is perfect! 🧘♀️ Just keep yourself hydrated and stop immediately if you feel tired or dizzy. Listen to your body and keep it fun! 💕
I tracked all my activity on my pregnancy app, which suggested doing about 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week. Doing 20-30 minutes of brisk walking or pelvic tilts daily is amazing for stamina. Just log your symptoms and make sure you aren't overexerting.
Since I had thyroid issues, my doctor was very specific about keeping my heart rate stable. I was only allowed 30 minutes of gentle walking daily. It's really important to keep following up with your doctor regularly to adjust your activity levels based on your reports.
The rule of thumb is that if you were active before pregnancy, you can continue with modified versions of the same. But no heavy lifting or intense cardio now. Stick to safe prenatal stretches, walking, and always check with your gynac before starting any new routine.
Honestly, I only exercise so that I can eat my favorite street food cravings without feeling guilty! I do simple 20-minute pregnancy yoga sessions at home. Just don't push yourself too hard, a happy snack after a light walk is the best feeling!
