Did You or Will You Exercise During Pregnancy?

Unless you have a high risk pregnancy, your an idoit if you don't exercise! It is insane to expect your body to function and maintain it's health and that of your baby without it. Not only will you gain less weight, but the weight you do will be much easier to shed after birth. Along with exercise you need to have a healthy diet. And not have the "I'm pregnant and can eat whatever I want." attitude. It's so frustrating to hear women complain about the weight they gained and the problems they are having shaedding the weight. Proper care of your self before, during, and after the pregnancy is all you need. Dont be lazy, eat healthy and you have a high chance of having no problems!

I exercised during pregnancy, while my girlfriend was pregnant, I exercised caution ... as she was very moody lol.

When I was preg with my oldest I didnt exercise..I was too busy eating everything in sight LOL with my middle child (my daughter) I lived off fresh fruits and veggies and walked ALOT and with my youngest I couldnt exercise because by almost 4mths along i was ordered to bed rest due to complications..

Hi Sweet I just did all the normal things that I did any other time. I have never been one to baby myself xoxoxoxoxoxo

Hello! I always did! I think as long as you were already into an exercise routine, its ok to continue it, if your doctor allows it. My doctor did, and I just didn't do anything too strenuous or jarring, but I did do the stepper and other machines meant for cardio workout without physical exertion. Have a great day!

I am pregnant right now and I have been exercising (when I can). In my first trimester it was hard to get a routine down because of not feeling well or just being exhausted. No that I am in my 2nd trimester I have been working out every morning on our treadmill and using the weights on our home gym. I am loving it and it is making me feel so much better mentally and physically. I wish I could have started sooner.

i did. i used to walk a lot and i also was sent to a pool which is located in a hospital to do physio exercises (that was for my first one) with my second daughter, my first one gave me enough exercise to be sure!

The only exercising I did was walking from, right up to 8 months.

yes dear i did exercise while i was pregnant..it's good. it also helps make me more awake, coz i feel lazy when i'm pregnant (got 2 kids already). exercising does help w/ the delivery as well. though it varies to each person but generally speaking it's making it more easier for your delivery, and definitely will do exercise when i get pregnant again ",)

I am on my 37th week of pregnancy now and I have been doing walks every morning and night as my regular exercise. I would have lots of leg crampings everytime I skip my walking routine. For me, it helps and will help me during labour. My doctor said I should have longer walks especially now that I am near my due. But i am also advised not to do strenious exercises anymore.

I love being in shape and in control of my body so yes I will exercise during pregnancy. The added benefits and easier labor is enough to get me going though.

At first i decided to walk every morning, but later on, i feel tired and all i want is to sleep. I eat a lot and i gain 25 kgs. I have no regret because i study the breathing technique or yoga. This really helps me a lot during labor to ease the pain and it made easy for me to give birth. My neighbor didn't notice that i was already giving birth. Only midwife attend me coz even i have an schedule at hospital, i told to my mom that i can't walk. we never realize that it will only took about 2 hours and my baby is here.The only thing that i remember was i drink too much of water. put some oil of wintergreen or omega in my legs to avoid big feet.I eat whatever i like but i know that its all nutritious.

I never really thought about it until I've read that. When I do get pregnant with my first, I can imagine a lovely walk would be lovely, and quite relaxing for myself at the same time. I would like to adventure down to my local swimming pool, but I would obviously take it very easy.

I didn't do a whole lot in my pregnancies other than normal walking around and such and I do regret it. I didn't lose all of my pregnancy weight I would have it I had exercised more. If I could turn back time I would do it differently and if I ever have more kids I will definitely be doing more exercise lol

During my first pregnancy I did not get much exercise. Some walking, but I was not in a neighborhood that made it easy, and did not have anyone around to walk with. By the time I was pregnant again, I had an almost three year old, we swam regularly. I also took aerobics for awhile, walked, did water exercises and some floor exercise. In my seventh month I started using a universal weight machine. I definitely did better with #2 pregnancy. I had more energy and felt better all the way around. So if I could turn back the hands of time, I would change that first pregnancy to one where I exercised and was more energetic.

I really didn't exercise during my pregnancy but I did work all the way up until one week before giving birth. I got alot of exercise at work in shipping and receiving. I was always up and moving around doing something. I don't think it helped me though because it was my first and only child and I was in labor for 15 hours. I think I would try to do some kind of pregnancy exercise next time because it was very painful.

When i was pregnant with my baby... the only exercise that i did was walking... now i realized that i should have done more... like stretching or bending... since my body now is not the same as before my pregnancy... so next time... i will do like some yoga... and more light physical exercise... not only for myself but for my unborn baby as well...

I have had four children. I had gestational diabetes with every other child starting with the second one. I ate better with his pregnancy than the first because..well I had to! The fourth pregnancy is really the only one that I went to the gym and exercised. I used to put the treadmill on incline and walk up it. I also did some inner/out thigh machine exercises. I also got gestational diabetes again. Wouldn't you know that this would be the only c-section I would have out of four children? It figures. The recovery was awful. I bounced back from the other three with no problem, but this time I hurt so bad I could hardly stand it! I think I would have eaten better and added a little more exercise with my first pregnancy if I could do it over. Krispy Kreme was my nest friend during that one! I say again, thank goodness I was blessed with a high metabolism. Sometimes I really don't deserve it!

it is better to walk everyday for pregnant woman but not rush.

No I didn't.
