So I am finally feeling well enough to begin exercising more (21 weeks) but now that this baby is bigger I am noticing a lot of mild/moderate round ligament pain when I'm exercising. Is it safe to keep going within what I can tolerate? Or should I take it as a sign to stop and rest? I'm not doing anything strenuous. ..walking, stationary bike, and considering starting yoga back up. Any ideas?
-
I rest... Whenever I exert myself too much I get really bad hip pains and I def need to stop and rest. I don't know what would happen if I keep pushing myself!
-
I rest, I feel like it gets worse the longer I go or harder I try. I can do walking and that's about it during pregnancy.
-
Your ligaments are much more soft and relaxed during pregnancy, meaning that you don't have the joint stability that you are used to. I don't think I would push through it, personally, because your body is under enough strain as it is; I vote rest!
-
I also vote rest BUT might still try yoga, especially prenatal yoga. In the class I go to, the instructor asks each of us specifics about what's bothering us physically and tries to tailor the class to what we need. For example, if a particular sequence or pose bothers you, just skip it. And it might help!

My doctor told me to stop if I felt pain during exercise... so I would probably rest and maybe try a different kind of activity. Maybe swimming or water aerobics?

Thanks ladies
that was my first instinct too but I feel like it's been one thing after another this pregnsncy and i kinda feel like im just making excuses. We have an indoor pool so maybe I can try their water classes.
