Exercise 1st Trimester

Hii. I’m nearly 6 weeks and I’m definitely feeling the exhaustion bad.

Before getting pregnant I was pretty active. Not gym 3x per week type active, just here and there with the boyf when I could be bothered, couple Pilates, LBT, body conditioning classes here and there, running, lots of walking.

But now I’m so exhausted I am taking a different commute where I’m much more guaranteed a seat (haven’t ordered a bby on board badge yet, it’s just so awkward asking anyone to give their seat when they too may have a whole host of ailments for which they need the seat themselves). I’m managing 10-30 mins yoga several times pw if I haven’t fallen asleep super early after work.

Everyone’s telling me to continue weight training, but I’m so (probably irrationally) scared something will happen and I’ll lose the baby if I do any weights. Is this unfounded?

I also don’t want to have to announce in the classes that I’m pregnant as it’s so early, but I don’t want to do the class without the instructor knowing. I also don’t like going to the gym on my own especially during peak times and I cbb to go when my partner goes.

What are your thoughts? Xx

Girl just listen to your body. If you’re currently exhausted rest up. Honestly it won’t last the full 9 months. When you get a bit of energy back just do exercise you enjoy. Keep your body moving when you feel up to it. It can be a difficult mindset to get around as you exercise but then continue to gain weight and get bigger - but that’s pregnancy. Don’t be too hard on yourself x

I workout out up to the end. 1st trimester is the easiest and last trimester is more difficult
