Exercise While Pregnant
The topic of exercise came up on one of my discussion boards today, and I figured I'd share my answer here, since it talks about my health.
I have actually been feeling better and getting more exercise since I have been pregnant. I have more fatigue, especially in the late afternoons and evenings, but I also have much more drive to do things.
I suffer from chronic migraines, but they have eased off, and I have barely had a few bad headaches since I have been pregnant.
I have always done some yoga.... (I used to do it with my paternal grandmother, when I was young) and picked it up again a few years ago with a friend who was pregnant at the time. I don't do the aerobic kind - mostly stretching, flexibility, and breathing. It is very refreshing.
I have been walking a lot more. I actually feel a lot better, if I can get out and walk and move around, but I am having to take it easy since the doctor put me on pelvic rest. I have stopped most of my walking. (I have chronic pelvic pain related to PCOS, and have been hurting/cramping since I got pregnant.... increasing blood flow to the area seemed to help.)
I am really hoping to get the all clear at my u/s next week and am going to discuss exercise with my dr. I am taking things as slow and easy as I can, but I am not one to sit still, and I feel better when I am moving.
