Feeling guilty?

I'm reading articles saying I need to eat this and that, and do exercise here and there. I am currently 11 weeks and still feeling quite nauseous and haven't been able to eat as healthy as advised. Plus, I haven't found the energy to be active!

Anyone else feeling this way?

    @l__c 1st tri is really about survival, doing what you can to take care of yourself, eating what you can, resting when you can, etc. Most OBs and midwives will not ask you to start exercising and minding your nutrition until 2nd trimester. At that point, when you are feeling better, energy returns and food aversions leave, it is easier to make those choices and changes in your lifestyle as you see fit to do so.

    Do the best you can when you can do it. Sometimes that's eating the only thing you can stomach and walking to get the mail. Other days that means a salad is in the cards and you can walk around the block. Be gentle on yourself.

    What PP said. But also, careful about what you read online about both pregnancy and child rearing. Articles are sometimes not very helpful and can make you insane. Every pregnancy is different and every baby is different.

    Nausea in the first trimester can be horrible. Most women who experience it don't eat very well let alone exercise.

    Don't beat yourself up about it, eat what you can when you can. Sometimes it's all about survival and doing your best!

    I feel you on this. I haven't been eating the most food pyramid friendly diet and haven't been keeping up with my regular workouts. However, I've had weekly spotting since 5 weeks and it usually happens the morning after I over do it physical activity wise. You really just have to listen to your body. The other day I cried to my husband "How am I supposed to live my normal life like this?" He said "You're not, you're supposed to live a pregnant life." Huge lightbulb moment for me. Now I'm REALLY obeying doctors orders and making sure I take it easy 😊
