It is hard when your tired, I try to go 3 times a week at least, that is why I have the trainer twice a week, b/c it FORCES me to go if I have a session then I have no choice no matter how tired, I must go
good luck, it will get easier........

I agree, it can be very difficult sometimes. You have to listen to your body, go when you have the energy. I have been sick with a nasty cold for a few weeks and I have been staying out of the gym until I feel better.

In your first tri, please honor what your body is asking and do not overdo it. If you are tired, sleep. You are growing a human life inside you and the first trimester is when everything is developing. IMO (& personal experience), if theres's a time to take it easy, it's the first trimester.

You will go through stages about your weight but believe me, alot of it will pass, especially when you start to feel that baby move and it becomes more 'real'

The healthiest thing you can do for the baby is be gentle with yourself. I'm not saying don't exercise but this is not the time to obsess. Talk to your OB about your concerns and perhaps you can even see a nutritionist.

Re: First trimester So hard

I wish I could go to the gym!!! My dr. said absolutely no exercise! No walking, no lifting, no bending - . I had to put my gym membership on hold.

I see my Dr. tonight and I hope that since I am now in my 2nd Trimester he will allow me to at least do prenatal yoga and walking!
