Before I became pregnant I thought I'd be jogging into my 9th month. But as soon as the first trimester m/s kicked in, I was knocked out and haven't gotten been able to get back into it. Now, its just prenatal yoga 3x/wk, but i do feel that the cardio is missing. What are you doing to stay active?

I'm just barely pregnant (hehe!) but I'm walking and plan to continue to do so. I was running (okay, maybe more walking briskly?) and I know it's okay to do anything you were doing before you got your BFP (within reason) but honestly I'm just paranoid. So I'm taking really good walks with the dogs and we got a treadmill for when it's too cold for me to walk much outside, especially when it gets snowy!

I'm doing a weekly aqua natal aerobics class. It's a great work out (seriously. I was shocked how sore I was the next day!) and a fun way to bond with women all along the pregnancy journey (from 12 weeks to 40+!). The best part is that isn't only £2 a session! I get to start a yoga class this week, so we'll see how it goes. I joked with my midwife that I'm going to end this pregnancy in better shape than I started it

Walking, every night. We have a lake across the road from our house and we walk around it. It's not very far, but enough that we feel active.
-
I'm a little over six weeks and haven't been hit with morning sickness yet. So, I am still working out about 4 x a week - elliptical and running mostly (well, really jogging). I take it much easier but it feels good to be active!
-
uh, you gals are a LOT better than I am! We're just starting TTC and I've done jack-squat... just like I've done for the past year, telling myself I would "prep" and get fit to start trying. Eeek!
-
i'm with habesbabe. i've been meaning to go for walks but morning sickness made me VERY lazy and i don't want to get off the couch. i need to make a resolution to try walking now that i'm finally in my 2nd trimester. (still feeling queasy though and using that as a bad excuse).
-
ooh, tequiero21, I feel for you....m/s really kills any motivation to be active. Hang in there--You'll feel better soon!
-
@miranlee - thanks! i'm praying to god that i feel better soon! the thing that scares me is i hear some women have m/s throughout their entire pregnancy. i just pray i'm not one of those women.
-
@Tequiero21 - a good friend of mine is pg with twins. She had m/s through her 4th month. She was finally able to eat normally again after that. Hoping it's like that for you, as well!
-
@jbhops - o man, i was so happy i reached 2nd trimester since i thought that would kill my m/s =) now i may have at least 1 more month. ouch.
-
I think I read (or maybe heard) that you can't do ab exercises when you're pregnant. Is that true? Or can you do them first semester but not later? Anyone know?
-
I took it kind of easy. I did do walking but other than that nothing.
-
I kept up with spinning, the elliptical, and weight lifting, but lightened the loads and intensities.
