fit pregnancy

I just found out I was pregnant this morning and have my first endurance hike race in 4 weeks. This news obviously came at a surprise but I’ve been training around 10+ hours a week for this event since last November. I’m doing 29029, which is a 36 hour timed endurance hike in Idaho where I...

(Mods please delete if not welcome) Hey friends, I’ve seen a lot of posts about negativity in pregnancy/parenting groups. I’ve also seen a lot of people asking for a positive space as well. I get it, everyone needs a space to yell into a void occasionally. But shouldn’t we all get a space...

For any mamas planning to breastfeed, I just wanted to share that I found a very affordable nursing sports bra at Target that I basically live in...

I'm currently 16 weeks pregnant, and struggling to maintain a regular workout routine. I didn't workout at all during my first trimester (just long walks when I could muster the little energy that I had), and only started working out again recently (30 min rowing twice a week). The biggest...

I’m exactly 8+0 today and I’m not doing well mentally with being so nauseous and exhausted. Before pregnancy, I was in the gym 6 days a week. Now, I’m lucky if I go on a walk after work. I struggled with severe nausea and vomiting but began unisom + vitamin b6 and that’s helped with vomiting...

Anyone work out upper body with light weights before your 6 week c section follow up? My dr hasn’t gotten back to me with an answer and I’m just curious if there’s anything I can do while “recovering” aside from walking on the treadmill. I’m 3 weeks post c section and ready to get back into it...

I’m super proud of the effort my wife has made to stay active during pregnancy. Not every week has been easy, but she has managed to do all she can when she can. Here she is finishing a half trail, half gravel 5k yesterday (5/10) with the baby due Sunday (5/13): The day before that (5/9) she...

Hey all, First just want to say I really appreciate this community and currently is my only expecting moms forum I feel good about participating in. I’m at 11 w 1 d and I’m finally beginning to get some energy back to run and do longer workouts. (It’s like one good day, then one puke all day...

Hi everyone! I was having an issue where my weight gain was off the chart high. I gained 9 lbs in the first 8 weeks. I ate a very spicy meal one day and chugged water like I have never done before. Guess what!? The next day I wasn’t as bloated and lost 3 lbs. I continued drinking a lot of water...

Hello! I am freshly 40 yo, obesity 1st degree (BMI 31), hypertensive. Since finding out Im preggo (also very fresh) I ditched all my bad habits (sedentarism, coke zero, processed crap) and started walking about 10k steps a day, a significant portion of that being brisk ~ 5 days a week, I eat...

I had an emergency c-section 3 weeks ago. Prior to delivery, I was working out at least 2-3x a week. I was also very active prior to being pregnant and lifted weights + did HIIT on weekdays 4-5x a week and ran on weekends. To those of you who also underwent surgery (cesarean section), how long...

Here is the log of my biking - my LPD was March 4 and I’m due on Dec 9. My current goal is 100 miles per month through T2 and then 50 a month through T3. my biking log

Hi all, first time new Mom here and still very early in pregnancy! I’d love suggestions on some apps or subscriptions that have a solid prenatal routine. It doesn’t have to be free, I’m willing to pay for something efficient that still follows typical strength training routines but focuses more...

Hey! Does anyone here breastfeed & do CrossFit?! Or workout in general. I’m 7.5 week PP and looking to get back into working out - CrossFit specifically. (I will be going very slow) But the only bras I have are some of the multi pack nursing bras off Amazon. I can tighten the straps to...

Im 12 weeks pregnant w/baby 2! My other babe is about to turn 1 yr in a couple weeks. Prior to my first pregnancy, I would run a couple times a week, 1-3 miles at a time. Occasionally would do 4-5 miles if I was consistent with running and pushing myself. Quit running altogether during 1st...

Can anyone recommend an ab/core workout specific for diastasis recti/ab separation reduction or prevention? I’m 16+1 and already huge. Its all belly, i’m super active and have gained minimal scale weight but i’ve been in maternity pants since 8 weeks because although i could (and still can)...

This is the second time this has happened. I let the first time slide since I was just thinking it was one ignorant old lady. But some time passes, another woman asked if she can speak to me and she told me that she notices that I’m pregnant and I shouldn’t be here and I should be home in bed...

This is my second pregnancy- first was normal and I exercised up until the day I delivered. That was 2 years ago. Now pregnant with my second, and my crotch bones(? Like the bottom of my pelvis, between my legs, but the bone part) ache like I’ve been spending too much time on a bike (I haven’t...

First time MBT at 25+0, daily bike commuter 20 miles a day with a pedal assist ebike. I’ve noticed ever since hitting 20 weeks that the increased blood volume is smacking me in the face, and I’m relying on the e-assist much more than before. Did any of you make it all the way through your...

Hi all! My daughter is 10 months and I just found out I was pregnant again. I had recently purchased Vital Performance pre-workout supplement, but I’m not certain it’s safe for pregnancy. (See ingredient list below) If anyone has taken it during pregnancy let me know! Do you all have any...
