If your doctor told you an hour is too excessive for you, then why are you not listening to him/her? Do you think he/she is saying it for no reason at all?
Yes, it's pregnancy related. Yes, you should scale back and listen to your doctor.0 -
OP, I'm sure it's pregnancy related. Your intensity is pretty low, so I doubt that has much to do with it, probably more related to calorie needs and a shift in your biological priorities.
On a side note, regardless of the perceived benefits (or lack there of) of medicine, doctors, etc... I love the fact that we all just assume more people is a good thing.
Yes, we know your child free, good job.0 -

I have 2 kids, actually... which means I'm speaking from experience.
Thanks for playing, though.0 -

You can exercise moderately and still be exercising too much.0 -

It's more the fact that you aren't willing to stop doing it.0 -

No it's not because your body is screaming out at you that it's too much
And your doctor has told you that even 2/3rds what you're doing is too much
And you have a responsibility to your unborn child, if you are planning to go to term of course
So you need to get a referral and get some expert help because this thread is deeply concerning0 -
There should be no concern i am just wondering why sonething that was a breeze for me for so many years has become difficult all of a sudden and i see pregnant moms walking out of the gym or lifting weights and i even saw a mom with a six pack online that made me wonder why walking with incline is bad.. My mom even hiked up a 14er a week before my birth so thats why i am just wondering
i dont want anyone to be concerned i am just curious.. I have trust issues with all doctors because they have given me false diagnostics in the past that made things way worse 0 -

Talk about coming out of left field. OP was asking about fatigue/strength issues. Not whether or not she should have the kid. What the hell man. 0 -

Sorry, maybe I should have directed my comments more clearly. The first was directed at the op. The second was at the folks arguing about the merits of medicine/doctors/etc.0 -

Honey, are you dense? Pregnancy takes a huge toll on a woman and affects every woman differently. Just because your mom/grandma/sister/friend did something some way while SHE was pregnant. Doesn't mean you can. I got blasted by tons of women when I was pregnant because I stopped working at 8 months pregnant, while they worked up until a day before they were due. They didn't take into account I was working an extremely physically demanding job while they sat at desks.0 -

I think you're making a lot of assumptions and/or missing a lot of context.
You're doing something, it's just harder than it used to be. You see pregnant people walking out of the gym... do you assume it's not harder for them, as well? Do you think they are doing the same exercises at the same intensities they were before?0 -

My first trimester I was so sick and weak. My second trimester I got my energy back. My third trimester I got sick and weak and tired again0
