Workout ladies - anyone else experiencing this?

Nausea kicked in full board last Thursday and it's not a lot of fun. However, I have started to realize that getting in a good hour long workout actually seems to kick the nausea to the curb. It's the oddest thing! I worked out in the AM Friday and Saturday and was tired, but not sick the rest of the day. Sunday and Monday were both evening workouts and I was sick all day until after hitting the gym.

I find that the sicker I feel during the workout, the better I tend to feel afterwards. Anyone else have this happen to them? I'm not complaining, but it totally caught me off guard - in a good way!

yeah, I feel a little better while I'm working out and then a lot better afterward, only bad part is we go to the gym at night so I don't get to feel better that long.

I'm 7 weeks and 4 days too and I've noticed the same thing.  If I get up and go for a walk or workout I feel much better than just laying on the couch watching TV. 

I have been pretty lucky b/c I haven't had a lot of nausea until this past weekend, so I was trying a bunch of different things to try to kick the feeling. 

 Good Luck to you!

I actually hauled my very tired self into the gym this morning at 5:30am to get in a quick treadmill workout before work. I still had about an hour of nausea this morning, but *knock on wood*, I seem to be good now. I'm sooo not a super early morning workout person, but I'm going to try it all this week and if it consistently helps, then I guess I know what I'll be doing every weekday morning until the 2nd Tri.

I have yet to drag myself to the gym.    I'm planning to go on Thursday morning push come shove....I'm just SO darn tired all I want to do is sleep.

Yes. Working out helps everything in your body regulate itself.

My nausea has kept me from working out but I'm going to try to make it to the gym tonight. I haven't been in two weeks and I feel like a lump.

Did not work for me.  We wend on an 18 mile bike ride on Sunday and I thought I was going to toss my lunch at the top of every hill.  Then I spent the evening very tired on the sofa. Clearly I need to bring it down a notch.

Yes!  It makes a HUGE difference!

I noticed this early on and it's been my secret weapon ever since.  Yesterday I woke up with a bit of a cold, so I didn't work out in the morning and I felt terrible all day.  I couldn't eat anything.

This morning on the other hand?  I got in a great workout and I feel amazing.  In maddition to the m/s, my hormones seem to have me going 100 miles a minute or completely dead, no energy at all.  I find that the workout helps me lean toward the 100 miles a minute outlook .

I am noticing I tire out easily in the first 20 mins then im good to go for the rest of the workout. No sickness yet.

I workout every weekday morning for at least an hour. I started this routine after my second child. This past weekend I took Friday-Monday off and I was so exhausted by the end of the day (like I was with the first two pregnancies). I went back to the gym this morning and I am hoping I won't be as tired tonight ... like I felt before this weekend. I am so lucky that I don't have the m/s that others have ... although I do get an occasional twinge of nausea sometimes. I seriously believe now going through two pregnancies without working out and one while working out that it does make a huge difference in how you feel.

I haven't had the energy or stomach to get to the gym.    Tomorrow is my first pilates class in about 3 weeks.  I hope it helps with the m/s.

I've only had waves of nausea, and I haven't experienced any tiredness yet. So I'm still running, just not as far. I've backed it down from 5 miles to 3.5-4 miles.

*Keeping my fingers crossed it stays this way.*

Me too - I feel much worse the days that I don't get a good workout for most of my symptoms. I read about it being a benefit of working out while pregnant!
