Honestly, just walk as much as you can easily fit into your schedule. I used to manage around 20-30 mins after dinner or during my lunch break. Don't stress about target steps or hours, just keep moving normally.
I mostly walk to the nearby golgappa stall to satisfy my cravings, haha! But jokes aside, 20 mins of normal walking after meals really helps with digestion and keeping the bloating down.
Beta, walking in the fresh morning air is very beneficial for both you and the baby. Just walk at a comfortable pace, avoid carrying heavy things, and drink a glass of warm water or milk when you get back.
Sweetie, please don't overdo it. A gentle 20 to 30 minutes walk is more than enough to stay active. If you feel tired or heavy at any point, just sit down and rest immediately.
Around 30 minutes of moderate walking is the sweet spot for a normal pregnancy. But please make sure you ask your gynac first, especially if you have been advised bed rest or have any complications.
Because of my PCOS history, I was very careful not to strain myself. My gynac advised 30 minutes of very slow, gentle walking daily. It helped keep my blood sugar levels stable without putting any pressure.
When my nausea was bad, even standing up felt like a chore. On good days, I just did 10-15 mins of light pacing inside the house. Don't force yourself if you are feeling very sick, just listen to your body.
