Staying fit doesn't mean you need to do heavy workouts! Simple things like a 20-minute daily walk, pelvic stretches, and staying well hydrated do wonders. Just listen to your body and never push yourself too hard.
When I was staying at my parents' house, my mother would take me for gentle walks in the garden every morning and evening. She made sure I did light household chores but never lifted anything heavy. Just stay active naturally, eat home-cooked food, and rest well.
During my consultations at the hospital, the physiotherapists gave me a complete customized prenatal exercise plan. I would highly recommend asking your doctor or the hospital staff first before starting anything. They know your health history and can guide you safely.
Walking is the absolute best thing, yaar. I actually used to do mild yoga stretches in the evening to relieve back pain. Just avoid lying flat on your back and make sure you drink lots of water, simple as that!
Fit? Honestly, my only fitness routine was walking from the bed to the fridge for midnight snacks! But jokes aside, a simple walk is more than enough. Don't stress about gymming, you will get plenty of cardio once the baby arrives!
Because I had gestational diabetes, my doctor was very strict about keeping active after meals. I had to do a 15-minute slow walk after breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It kept my sugar in check and kept me fit without any strenuous exercises.
