Help for those with m/s

TLiggy

I'm now convinced abut this...So I'm a healthy gal; healthy diet and exercise regularly. Since this is my first pregnancy after a loss, I privately let my body pump instructor, Brooke, in on the news so she could give me any advice or precautions I typically hit the weights pretty hard. Well I guess I forgot to mention that it was a secret, because the next day in class, one of the other regulars was slacking on the squat track and Brooke points at me and yells "C' mon! If the pregnant girl can do it, so can you!" Umm, wow. Anyway it turned out to be great because then seriously half the regulars in the class revealed that they're pregnant too! I'm so excited to have some gym friends for support, too! So after class we were all talking and one of the things we discovered is that none of us have had any negative symptoms so far, including morning sickness. Eight pregnant women ranging from 5weeks to 19 weeks along, and NO MORNING SICKNESS. Only a few of us have som bloating, that's it. In fact, the 16 weeks lady is still wearing skinny jeans and dosent look pregnant at all. Anyway, apparently regular exercise is doing the trick for us. Just wanted to share. Personally, the fatigue is making me want to skip the gym, but I haven't given in yet, and honestly I feel really amazing, though I know its early on. I'm hoping that trend continues, though. I hope this helps those that are feeling bad and vomiting! It makes me so sad to read about the sick ladies. I absolutely HATE throwing up and I cannot imagine doing it for 12 weeks.

I work out regularly, running 1518 miles a week and yoga 23 times a week bikram and regular practice and I have been queasy for a solid week....in my reading it looks as though symptoms are different for every woman. But, good for you and your gym mates :

My thoughts:

The people who do not have bad ms are at the gym because they are able. Those who are having bad symptoms can't be there. This does not mean that working out causes a decease in symptoms. Correlation vs. causation.

No offense taken. Actually thank you for offering what you thought may be helpful advice to us suffering with ms. I'm not much of an exerciser but have started doing a pregnancy yoga video, although to be honest I am finding it difficult to find the stren

I'm pretty sure she didn't deliberately mean to insult anyone, and was just excited about advice she thought might help. Although yea, I can say I might be worried if I was getting far along and 'wasn't' showing a little. In MO it's better to show than no

You've got it backward, exercise doesn't cure m/s. the fact that you don't have m/s is allowing you to exercise.

Plus, body pump is lame. Lift something heavy a few times instead of 100 reps at light weight.

I will be six weeks pregnant with my first tomorrow and have been blessed so far not to have any negative symptoms either. I feel great! I also exercise regularly and, while I'm not at my goal weight I maintain a healthy lifestyle and eating habits. Maybe

I don't think you were out of line. That's good advice for someone who isn't having a complicated pregnancy maybe. I see you are just trying to help! Thanks for sharing!

I appreciate you trying to help, but as people have pointed out, the very sick women probably can't go to the gym or may be exercising in a less strenuous way. I have HG, and the activity I can handle is pretty minimum.

I didn't get a negative vibe from the OP at all. She apologized to all those who felt it to be condescending.

Everyone is different, no harm done.

Also if anyone cares, I just ate a small tub of hummus to myself. Time to go walk
