fit pregnancy

Does anyone have any free (or nearly free) programs to recommend for easing back into fitness? I’m 4w PP and will wait for getting cleared by my obgyn and also have a couple pelvic floor PT sessions set up. I was looking at Dr Mae Hughes program but $300 was a bit steep…...

Has anyone else been struggling to decide what car seat, stroller, or travel system to get? My partner and I are pretty active. We were set on getting the Bob stroller, nuna pipa car seat, and nuna adapter for Bob (~$1000 investment). We wouldnt run with the baby until at least 8 months but we...

I need to be more active. I’ve had depression for forever but now it’s time to give myself the best chances of garnering energy to be able to give to my baby. I’ve decided im gonna start Chloe ting workouts. I understand most of you are gym goers and I probably sound like a noob and that doing...

And if so, do we think there’s a risk when you start back up? I’m at 35 weeks currently, pre-preg I worked out 3-4 x a week lifting + cardio. During pregnancy it’s been on and off due to fatigue and moving into a new house, but I’ve made sure to go 1-2 x a week. However I’ve taken 3 weeks off...

I’m really struggling with the idea of slowing down/resting more. Pre-pregnancy, I lifted 6 days a week and got 10k steps minimum, usually more. Since being pregnant, I’ve been able to keep lifting 6 days, though some days o cut some of my volume if I’m not feeling it. Step count has been down...

Im currently at 37+0 and wondering how I should adjust my activity goals. Right now they are on the default 400 calories move goal, 30 minutes exercise and 12 hours standing. I don’t manage to close all rings every day anyways, but I think I will lower the move goal to 300 and the standing goal...

I’m 35 weeks pregnant and have been lifting pretty heavy consistently throughout my pregnancy. At an ultrasound I found out my baby is still breech. While I’ve been told I have time, I’m not very optimistic. I went through years of infertility then IVF and finally pregnant. My optimism is non...

Hi guys. Hoping I’m not jinxing myself. Super early, 5.3 weeks here. IVF pregnancy. I’ve had a rough 6 months, after 3 egg retrievals and 1 (successful?) FET I’ve gained a significant amount of weight. Double digits. With lifting hard 4 times a week, 12-15k steps and tracking my macros. I was...

Hi all, I’m newly pregnant (about 5.5 weeks) after a 7-8 month weight loss/exercise journey that started after my second miscarriage last year at 10 weeks gestation. I felt like the time was NOW to get my health in a better spot before trying again to conceive. I’ve not yet had a successful...

FTM here 🙋🏼‍♀️ entering my 5th week and I’m preparing myself for the infamous morning sickness. I’ve been intermittent fasting for a year now and I know that will soon have to come to an end so I wanted to ask what you all are eating when the wave of nausea hits in the morning? I don’t want to...

I wasnt sure where I wanted to post this question. And I’ll also ask my doctor of course. But I figured some of you ladies may be like me and have used a hot tub in the past to soothe sore muscles from workouts. So. We have a hot tub at my house. Since the beginning of the summer we have...

I’m 10 months postpartum and did my first road race yesterday since the half marathon I did February 2022 shortly after I learned I was pregnant. I stopped running about 20 weeks into my pregnancy but walked everyday until my water broke/stayed active. I resumed running in April starting at...

I’m a runner, and I’m 34+1 today. I did an 8-mile long run at 32 weeks, and it felt like I was cruising. It was a glorious run. My long run last week was cut short (at 1.5 miles) by significant lower abdominal pain. My OB and I think I pulled some rectus fibers away from the origin. Now I’m...

I’ve been doing CrossFit for a few months, and I’m 4w+3 today. I want to tell my coaches that I’m pregnant, but my husband thinks I should wait. I don’t want to blab to everyone right away, but I feel like the coaches should know, so they know I’ll be doing modifications, or in case something...

Hello everyone, My name is Linda and I’m in my final year of Public Heath Nutrition in ATU Galway! I am doing a final year study on knowledge attitudes and behaviours around pre-conception and pregnancy heath, as it’s an area I’m really interested in. I am recruiting all mothers and also...

Hi you all If this is not allowed, let me know, but o don't know where to post this. I am now three months postpartum, been cleared by the doctor, but I just seem to have a very low sex drive. Part of me wants to the other really cannot be asked. During pregnancy we didn't have much sex...

It was by far my slowest 5k as I normally run about a 27. This 5k took me 36 minutes and I felt no shame when I walked a few times. Baby boy was great and kicked a ton after I finished! Pics:

Hello all! I had an emergency c- section 2 weeks ago and have been thinking about what exercise will look like after my 6 week recovery. Does anyone have any tips or tricks for what exercises to do, intensity, running/ cardio, e.t.c, especially ab related exercises? I'm very nervous about safe...

Helloooo! I’m 27 weeks pregnant and maintaining running about 25-27 mpw. However, I’m starting to feel more pressure in my pelvic region during & after running. More specifically, my lower belly, back and upper-inner pelvic region on one side is in so much discomfort any lateral or push off...

I had to take off some time during the IVF process, and the meds were kicking my butt anyway so I had already scaled back. Aside from horrible nausea, I’m able to get back to working out daily again (7 weeks). I’m running 4x a week and lifting 3x. I went back to a simpler template so I could...
