Third Trimester Working Out

So through my whole pregnancy I worked out 5 days a week on my peloton and did light weight lifting but I moved at my 30 week timeframe and haven’t been on my bike since. I’m 34w tomorrow and it’s bugging me but I am still trying to get my new house together before my baby arrives plus I’m with my twins (2yrs old) all day so I’m just exhausted most days. Just wondering what workouts others are doing still in the 3rd trimester that I can incorporate into my daily schedule. This pic is from today and my belly feels so big lol.

I've been doing lots of yoga in the last trimester to help with back pain and pelvic pressure. Also walking has been my go-to now that the weather is nice. No way I'd be able to run at this point in my pregnancy lol.

Yoga and walking was something I loved. Mobility exercises are great too like lunges, squats, bounce on yoga ball.

Ok you have 2 year old twins, 34 weeks, moved house. Are you kidding haha I guarantee you’re still working harder than most! I stopped my HIIT classes at 30 weeks so 2 weeks ago and only walking and stretching since. Going to do some yoga before bub arrives.

You’re doing amazing and you look great 💕

Prenatal Pilates! A short 15 or so min a day can do wonders!

But also, if you're body is staying rest, then by all means - rest! There's nothing wrong with that while running after toddlers and being well into your 3rd trimester. Napping while pregnant was something I mentally struggled with at first but it's so benefitted me

Snap! I used to bike regularly but haven’t from wk 33 onwards, mainly because of fatigue! I usually prefer high intensity work outs but I’ve given in and I’m doing yoga and walking, I’m still lifting though jut a lot lighter and concentrating on arms and chest more x

I’ve been doing body combat and body step, light upper weights and lower body bands and a couple of 5ks

Walking 😊

When I was pregnant I done a lot of walking

I worked out up until around the 34 week mark too and was working at a daycare centre with toddlers up until 3 days before I gave birth...you are definitely keeping active looking after your twins anyway, but I ended up walking everyday instead and maybe adding in yoga or stretching if I had the energy after work.

I love a lunge, the great thing is you can do them anywhere and break them up however you want. Say for example you’re going to the bathroom, walking lunge there and you’ve probably already done 10-20 lunges by the time you’re there. Have a number in your head (100/200 max) and aim to get there throughout the day. Remember to keep your stance wide as you lunge as our centre of gravity is very different these days 😊

I dont work out just work 5 days a week and chase a 3 year old around all the other times

Am I making the right choice?

I have recently decided to go for an elective C-section.
If this was your last birth experience would you do the same? I know it’s an individual choice but I keep doubting myself but I just had such a bad time… 😞

It was a Vbac …. Ended with…

-episiotomy with forceps
-retained placenta
-2litres blood loss with transfusion.
-GBS positive (probably going to be positive again)
-since birth 4 years ago i have been having issues with bowel incontinence 🙈

Husband help

FTM
We have to have an early elective c section for medical reasons on Friday. My husband seems not to understand recovery at all, suggesting we have his brother's within the week and go out for dinner etc at 2 weeks as I should have 'recovered' by then. This seems too much to me, am I being unreasonable?

Questioning if I should be concerned

I had an etopic pregnancy last January which resulted in losing my right tube.

We just found out we were pregnant 2 weeks ago when I was 8dpo and since then, my line progression has done well. I ended up getting bloodwork done last week on Thursday which my hcg was 88 which I didn’t know until today after my ultrasound-

Today I am to be 5 weeks and 2 days well..

I had an ultrasound vaginal and stomach, I was told she couldn’t see anything and I was asking if we should be concerned. The nurse then told me what my hcg was on Thursday and said that it is very very early. I told her why we came early was to make sure we do not lose another tube. She said they wouldn’t see it until 6 plus weeks.

I just don’t know if I should be worried about her not seeing a gestational sac- nothing. And I was told to come back in 3 weeks.

Does my hcg of being 88 truly mean I am earlier then what I had thought.

Just looking for some comfort please, I don’t want to go through waves of feeling like everything is going to be alright and then crashing.

My line progression and flo dates I apparently ovulated on the 3rd of March

Should I be concerned. I am thinking to get more labs done to see what my hcg has went up to and hopefully they can tell me if it’s good or not.

12-18 month wait

Hi - my midwife said 12-18 month wait before having another baby post c section, I think I may be pregnant again too soon to test but I just have a feeling. I’m 8M PP, so baby would be due around December which would be 17-18 months. Has anyone had a second c section in this time frame? Is it 12-18 months from c section or to get pregnant after then?
