We just started trying this month and i do gym regularly. Saas told me to stop everything but i feel that cant be right. Is normal workout okay while ttc or should i go light?
It really depends on your medical history and current fitness level, so please check with your gynac before starting any workout routine. Moderate physical activity is usually great, but you don't want to overdo it. Safety first, so let your doctor guide you.
Instead of paying for expensive prenatal gym packages or personal trainers, just stick to free outdoor walking and basic home yoga. It keeps you fit, reduces stress, and saves a lot of money which you will definitely need later for hospital deliveries and tests. Simple walks are the most cost-effective and safest option!
You don't need anything fancy, just a 30-minute daily walk in a nearby park is perfect. Doing simple household chores is also a great way to stay active. Just keep your workouts moderate so you feel energized, not completely drained out.
Haha, definitely do it now because once the baby comes, your only exercise will be running on zero sleep and lifting a crying baby 100 times a day! But seriously, light exercise is very safe and keeps your mind happy. Just don't overexhaust yourself.
My MIL was totally against me doing anything other than regular walking, she thought even lifting a bucket would affect my chances! But honestly, moderate exercise is completely fine and actually recommended. Just avoid heavy weightlifting or high-impact jumping and stick to normal yoga or brisk walks.
Please be very gentle with your body when you are trying to conceive. Having gone through a heartbreaking loss before, I became extremely cautious and only did light, slow walks. If you want to do any structured workout, it is best to consult your gynac first to be absolutely safe.
I'm also trying to conceive and currently doing home workouts. I keep wondering if doing squats or crunches during the two-week wait is safe or if it can stop implantation. What kind of exercises are you all doing?
