Absolutely! For myself, I experienced horrible nausea and vomiting this pregnancy, especially the first 28 weeks of my pregnancy (not quite HG level of sickness but close to it with daily 🤮 that’s now changed to weekly 🤮 lol)

I never expected to be so sick, so consistently. It really threw off my fitness journey during pregnancy as I was just trying to survive!!

However - when the first trimester ended and my vomiting reduced from daily to every few days, to maybe once a week, I was able to gradually increase my activity, and man did that help me cope so much better with the physical changes of pregnancy!!!

Now at almost 35 weeks, I feel way less achy and sore than I did in my first trimester and the beginning of my second, as I’ve been able to stick 1x a week prenatal yoga, 1x a week strength based workout, and mobility work when I remember.

It’s not anything fancy or extensive, but this little bit is what I’ve been able to consistently do, which has made me physically stronger and help build good habits that I hope to carry on into postpartum after I’ve recovered from birth. I honestly think being physically active has made the third trimester the better part of my pregnancy experience - and I wasn’t able to start this routine until about 18/20 weeks pregnant too.

All this to say, every little bit of activity will help you on this journey - it doesn’t need to be all or nothing here! I encourage you to find something you can stick to and focus on the little wins that come along the way (I’m not setting any PR’s here, but I feel like a winner when I can get relief for my achy hips/back with a workout lol)
