Staying healthy during pregnancy?
| Tue, 09-27-2005 - 11:10pm |
I have been very determined to be as healthy as possible once I got pregnant again, but now that I am, I've been too tired to exercise for almost a week! I am busy working during the day and then by 6 pm I am SO incredibly tired and start feeling dizzy and sick if I don't lay down and rest. Thank goodness I've been so "in the mood" lately, because that is the only exercise I've been getting!!!
I also have no appetite in the morning and twice this week have given in and had a frappucino for breakfast! I am so embarrassed! I've been having headaches and the caffiene was sooo nice. I am trying to make myself eat at least 3 small meals a day to get nutrients and I'm also thinking about getting up a little earlier to go on a walk with DH everymorning - that way if I don't get around to it on my own, at least I get some exercise in everyday. Does anyone have any tips for eating right and still working out when the tiredness and sickness of the 1st trimester kick in?

Hey Jen :)
I was worried about the same thing, feeling the same way as you.
Oh Jen...I was so tired during the 1st tri I just didn't do anything! hee hee! My only advise is to listen to your body...your body will tell you when you have the energy. Don't overstress yourself...you are growing a baby afterall and that takes a lot out of your body. Of course try to eat healthy, but don't beat yourself up if you treat yourself...MAN...all I've been craving is sweets and junk and I give into those cravings...it's a pleasure of pregnancy!
