Working out
TW: current pregnancy
Hi all. I’m currently 5w 4d pregnant. Hcg is progressing well so far (doubling to tripling every 2-3 days), but still protecting my heart after three loses (7.5 weeks, CP, and 5.5 weeks).
I had been working out pretty regularly (spin and stairs/lifting on rotation) for the past several months, but this pregnancy has me fatigued and light headed already so I haven’t been working out since I tested positive. I’m also trying to be as cautious as possible with this pregnancy, though logically my workouts likely wouldn’t trigger a loss.
For those of you that consistently workout, how do you handle that with recurrent loss? Do you take it really safe and stop during the early trimester while baby is getting sticky, or do you push through the fatigue? If not for the losses I’d probably push through but I’m nervous about another loss. Thanks all and wish we weren’t on this journey together.
