Exercising during this first trimester has been a humbling experience to say the least! I knew I would feel more tired during pregnancy, all in all the body is creating a whole human being, but I never though a 30-minute walk would leave me as winded as if I had ran a marathon. As hard as it was, I had to learn to give myself some grace and learn that there might be some days that it will be better to take a day off.

Incorporating regular exercise into your daily routine is one of the best things you can do for yourself and your growing baby. It can help you control the nausea and bring you some energy that fights off the fatigue. It is important that you ask your doctor if it is ok for you to workout during your pregnancy and that if you are just starting to workout, that you ease into it.

Exercising during pregnancy has many benefits, and it is especially important during the first trimester. Some of the key benefits include:

  • Improved Mood: Regular exercise can help reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, which are common during pregnancy.
  • Better Sleep: Exercise can help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer…
