I'm almost 10 weeks and have been keeping up with it but I almost wonder if I could do something more challenging?
Did you stay with it? Add in anything else?
Curious to know about others' exercise regimens while pregnant!

@Rainbow Sprinkles: I ran sporadically until I was about 10 weeks -- but more like walk run, whereas I used to typically run 3 miles. I just got so tired. It was totally weird. Now I do spinning and work out with a trainer who is careful to tailor my exercises for pregnancy. No laying on my back and weird crunches. Spinning helps me monitor my heart rate because I just dial it back when I get breathless. I couldn't do that while running. Forgive my ignorance, what's 30-day shred? I never see pregnant women in my workout classes. I'm wondering where they go.

I've never done the 30 day shred, I do run/walking (hill intervals) and pilates. I'm wondering whether I should give up on the Pilates, there's a lot of stomach lying... Subscribing to see others responses!

I'm impressed! I was soooooooo exhausted at 10 weeks. Personally, I'd talk to your dr. I've always heard that it's ok to continue excersise regimes, but that you shouldn't start new ones.

@Grace: I was super tired with DD but for some reason with this pregnancy I feel great! I think part of the reason is that while chasing around a toddler, I don't have the option to think about how tired I am!

@corilyns: it is a workout DVD by Jillian Michaels.

Ah! Do you like it? Should I try it? I was considering Tracy Anderson, I need a good rec
for at home workouts, because that'll be my life soon! -
Pre preg : was in good shape, ran about 12 miles a week and did barre class 3x a week. Quit barre early on (it felt weird)I ran / walked (intervals like c25k) til 20 wks then had to stop due to low lying placenta. 2nd half of pregnancy just walked my dog at an easy pace (maybe 1 mile a day?) I was also having bad braxton hicks when I walked so my activity definitely was scaled back.
That said, i just ate healthy and I wound up happy with my weight gain. Physically have lost some muscle tone but nothing awful. I went for my first postpartum (csection) run - walk today at almost 2 months pp. it went great!
All of that said, I was too lazy to stick with resistance training like 30ds and maybe I would've kept some of my muscle if I had. If you have the energy, go for it. If not, I wouldn't worry. I think you'll bounce back to your prior fitness level fast.

I'm 16 weeks, and I just got back into doing Crossfit a couple times a week after being off for several weeks because I felt so awful. I did Crossfit till about 14 weeks with my last pregnancy and then had some complications and never went back after my OB told me to take a few weeks off exercise. With that pregnancy I pretty much just stopped exercising at that point entirely.
This time I'm really hoping to keep up Crossfit till well into the 3rd trimester- I've seen girls at the gym on their due dates! It's very scaleable, which is nice, plus I really need the muscle tone to be able to continue to manage my two year old, and to be able to do things like squat down and be able to get back up again -
@Penny Lane: Both my OB and my coach are generally of the opinion that if it's a lying-on-your-stomach or lying-on-your-back exercise, you can do it as long as it's comfortable. With my first pregnancy, I didn't really get a bump for a while and would have been able to be on my stomach well into the second trimester- with my second, I probably would have given it up around 12 weeks. At 16 weeks, I still feel fine on my back, but I'll probably give up some of the exercises I do there soon just because the bump is kind of getting in the way.
