Just got my positive last week, so happy. Everyone says walking is good but im not sure from which month should i actually start. is it ok to begin in first trimester itself?
My saas was very strict about me resting completely in the first trimester, but my doctor said light walking is actually good. I started doing 15-20 minutes of gentle evening walks in our society park after my 12-week scan. Just don't overdo it.
Because of my thyroid, my doctor insisted on regular daily walks to keep my levels and weight in check. But we only started it after my first ultrasound cleared any complications. Definitely get your gynac's approval during your regular follow-ups.
Please do not start walking or any exercise without asking your doctor first. I had some early bleeding complications and was put on complete bed rest for weeks. Only your doctor knows if your pregnancy is safe for physical activity.
Oh, I was so scared to walk even a few steps in my first trimester thinking it would cause a miscarriage! My doctor laughed and said gentle walking is perfectly fine as long as there is no pain or spotting. Just walk on a flat surface and wear good shoes.
I completely understand wanting to stay active but also feeling terrified of doing anything that might hurt the baby. For me, walking helped calm my anxiety a lot, but I waited until my doctor confirmed my pregnancy was stable. Please check with your doctor first for your peace of mind.
Having PCOS made my pregnancy journey a bit delicate, so I was very cautious. My doctor allowed me to start slow, 10-minute walks only after my first trimester ended safely. Don't rush into it, your body's safety comes first.
Walking during my pregnancy kept me active and actually helped with my recovery after my C-section later. I started slow walking from the first trimester itself, but very gently. Listen to your body and stop immediately if you feel tired or dizzy.
Haan, walking toh best exercise hai pregnancy me. Par pehle trimester me thoda dhyan rakhna hota hai na. Doctor se pooch kar hi shuru karo, aur dhoop me chalna avoid karo.
If your doctor gives the green light, starting a 15-minute walk daily is great, even in the first trimester. I used to do a short stroll after my office lunch just to avoid sitting all day. It really helps with digestion and back pain.
I'm currently trying to conceive and already do light walking daily to stay fit. I've heard that if your body is used to walking, you can continue it safely during pregnancy too. But asking a doctor is always the best way to start.
