Part of that was a lack of energy, another part was I was nervous that it would cause me complications. Not really rational, but that was my mind frame ... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-excercise-during-your-pregnancy-with-multiples#post-2077654 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 19:41:43 +0000 twodoghouse 2077654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had zero energy to stay awake outside of work hours, let alone exercise. However, my MFM was extremely conservative and really did not want me exerting myself at all. I don't think he would have been thrilled if I had been doing a lot of exercise, honestly. His goal was to keep my babies in 38 weeks, whatever it took. We made that goal. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-excercise-during-your-pregnancy-with-multiples#post-2077602 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 19:16:11 +0000 BSB 2077602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Caly: @marionberry: Thanks! I will ask my OB. </p> <p> @sarac: Yeah, it is odd, but then again this pre-natal water class is offered at a hospital. So maybe they have extra liability. Or I wonder if something happened to a mother with multiples and now they can't offer it to us. I guess all it takes is one time. I'll talk to my OB and see what she says. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-excercise-during-your-pregnancy-with-multiples#post-2077578 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 18:52:51 +0000 sarac 2077578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is that true? Are women with non complicated twin pregnancies seriously advised not to exercise at all? That just baffles me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-excercise-during-your-pregnancy-with-multiples#post-2077320 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 16:08:36 +0000 marionberry 2077320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm surprised that they say that, especially since the class is in water. I never asked my OB about it but honestly I got enough exercise chasing my son and was so exhausted that I never felt the need to do additional exercise. I agree with @caly that you should just see what your doctor says. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-excercise-during-your-pregnancy-with-multiples#post-2077317 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 16:07:16 +0000 Caly 2077317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did not but it was because I was completely miserable the entire pregnancy and honestly just in survival mode. However, my dr did give me permission to exercise since I had worked out regularly prior to getting pregnant. I would ask your dr and go by what he/she says.</p> <p>Eta: congrats again, btw! I was so happy to hear your news! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-excercise-during-your-pregnancy-with-multiples#post-2076629 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 16:00:00 +0000 BSB 2076629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Found a cool prenatal water exercise class but they have this disclaimer...</p> <p>The class is not open to women who are expecting twins or other multiple births, because exercise during multiple-birth pregnancies is not advised by either the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) or the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM). </p>
