Exercise?

[Glitterdiva]

Can anyone shed any light on exercise during first trimester? I'm approx 5 wks only and usually do ballet and vinyasa or Ashtanga yoga. I'm reading conflicting info regarding exercise at this time. Obviously I understand tht I'd have to tone down such dynamic yoga practices anyway, but right now I'm a little cautious at doing anything until second trimester but I'm feeling like an idle cow already!!!
Thanks

Apparently light exercise is totally fine and good for you and baby in first try, just don't go running a marathon or skydiving

I know finally!!!!!! Arrrrrgggggghhhh! All down to soy! Thank you soooooo much for telling me all about, I owe you big time!
I'm sooo knackered though, but I feel like I gotta do something! Xxx

Soy is like a miracle tablet in my eyes haha. I am so pleased for you
Yeah the being tired all the time is rather annoying, I got better around 9 week and then at about 10+2 it started all over again haha. I spoke to the midwife and she said just do something light and simple like a walk, yoga is great too as long as you don't push too much. I'm off to aquanatal classes once I hit 14 week as she said it's the best thing to keep active and safe

I continued to run on a treadmill 2 times a week until I was about 20 weeks pregnant last time, and continued to do 2-3 spinning classes at the gym until 40 weeks. I am planning on doing the same this time round, I always felt better for exercising, if your body is alrady used to it and your in a safe environment then why not, if its uncomfortable stop! I just listened to my body, sometimes during 1st tri last time I had to just saty in bed lol...never made the 645am spin class--due to sickness! But if I feel o.k then I push on...really helped during the labour to be as fit as I was!

excersice is great as long as you are comfortable. I am a Zumba instructor and I teach 3-4 times a week. My doc said as long as I'm not cramping or of course bleeding then I should continue. Congrats on your baby!!

I'm cramping big time.....it's bloody annoying to say the least but I feel like a whale already......I've sooooooooo gotta get excercising! My body's already going thru shock due to lack of it!

I wouldn;t recommend doing anything you're not used to such as running, not just because of the cramping but also your ligaments loosen in pregnancy and running can put a lot of strain on this x

Ooooooo I'd rather poke needles in my eyes than run! I'll opt for keepin ballet and yoga, thanks for everyone's help!

 

[Toms Mummy]

I hear that you should be careful with yoga in the 1st tri too. x

Apparently according to my guru I just need to tone down my practice, after 20yrs of doing it I'd go into withdrawal if I stopped! Lol

My doctor meant cramping as I was doing the activity. I think if your body is used to doing it then you shouldn't have any problems. Just listen to your body and don't push yourself so hard
