I started working out at 10 weeks pregnant. Half an hour walk and weight training 5-6 times a week.
I’m almost at 25 weeks now and feel fantastic.
With my first pregnancy I stoped all activity, ate for 2 and it did me no good. I gained heaps of weight and had so many body aches.
This time iv’e had morning sickness the whole way through, have had food aversion but working out is something I have stuck to and am so happy I have.

As an OB/GYN I am so pleased to see, that you are staying active during your pregnancy and spreding the Information! It's so healthy when done safely as you said, for mom AND bump! Great Video, I hope you have an amazing journey with your little one :) Love from Germany 🍀

I’d love to see some pregnancy workouts, I’m around 5 weeks pregnant and would really appreciate videos for each trimester 💕

[morgangunn]

Thank you!! I did not workout at all during my first trimester due to feeling exhausted and sick all the time. Now, in my second trimester, I am ready to get back into my happy place- the gym! Praying that staying strong will help with labor and also bouncing back afterward!

I used to cycling 30mnt everyday before pregnant. In my first trimester i still hit my RPM and everyone be like “don’t do exercise” etc and i stop exercise and my body feel sick really like tired everytime i woke up, my feet hurt even tho i sleep all the time. And i try to hit my RPM again in my 24th weeks, and ALL THE PAIN IN MY BODY WAS GONE ! Thank god exercise and being active remove all the pregnancy problem (i think), and now i’m 30weeks swim 1hr 2 times a week and still cycling 30mnt/day. No swolen body, no nausea. Just drink water and eat healthy

I like the general rule of thumb of not starting anything new, but I was a cyclist before and my doctor told me explicitly to stop cycling during pregnancy. So, it forced me to find a replacement and start something new. I'm trying prenatal yoga workouts (with the guidance of my doctor). Especially since being active should be encouraged, if you weren't exercising before or your exercise isn't safe anymore, I think that you can start something new as long as you consult your physician.

Thank you, Carly, for once again fighting these stereotypes with excellent education and breaking it down to help us all understand. I am sorry people are being unkind, but I for one really appreciate all the Girl power in what you’re doing!!!

I didn’t work out for two months due to morning sickness, can I now go back to what I did before pregnancy ?(cardio and weights)

[graceshieh]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge! It drives me nuts when people think pregnant women need to rest all the time and not move a muscle. My mom scolded me about exercising and said I shouldn't take out the trash, reach for things, walk across the parking lot, carry shopping bags...

[SarahsDay]

Girl you speak so eloquently and beautiful. I could just listen to your voice forever haha 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼😍😍😍

From my experience I can honestly say you are 100% right about everything in this video. I love how you explain everything and I love your positive approach. I'm 3 and a half months post partum and I definitely agree that there is a fourth trimester. For me it was the hardest by far. Sleep deprived, in pain because of the breastfeeding struggle I definitely had to exercise on a beginner level and my goal is to just keep my sanity. Sorry if I sound scary, my point is that we should always be kind to ourselves and not worry about how we look because there is so much more you can gain from exercising, besides looks.

Not even pregnant but still loved this video! Always so informative ❤❤❤

My first trimester was hell was so sick till 16 weeks, , , ,
I’m now just getting back into it I’m feeling better 19 weeks and loving the gym....

[emilybroad]

I love his video . I was super active before and I’m active still being 22 weeks, I do it for my baby for my body and for a healthy labour . I think it’s so important to still be active . Of course I know what is too much compared to what I use to do but there’s still so much I can do . It’s funny when people criticize active pregnant women

[rachelsiminski]

Dont start something new, but what if I wasn’t exercising at all before? I need to start so I won’t get destroyed by the pregnancy and birth

[shaylaevans]

I try to stay active 😭👏 I'm 28 weeks pregnant and I HATE MY PREGNANCY BODY I know I should be grateful and I am because so many females struggle to get pregnant or can't at all before pregnancy I lost 98 pounds in a year and was kinda getting somewhere healthy with my mindset on my body and now being pregnant I gained so much weight that I cry all the time and am miserable I work out as often as I can and I clean my house and that's a WORK OUT I just want my baby out and in my arms, so I can have my body back I am excited to be a mommy and to have a daughter!

I still kept doing crossfit until the end of my 2nd trimester. Now we are no longer able to afford the gym so I do home workouts instead. I still do cycle and sometimes long walks

[MeganOlivier]

Yay! I've been accidentally following all of your advice 😄The first trimester has been the hardest so far for me (I'm currently 32 weeks). I felt so breathless and tired and sick. So far, the 3rd trimester has been the best - so much more energy and motivation now!

[RobynKimberly]

Girl those abs!! 😍Even when pregnant they look amazing ❤

[rachaellundy]

I had to cut out exercise in the 1st trimester because I was so sick but getting back into it now in my 2nd trimester and it feels really great! It's really helping me manage my pregnancy aches and pains
