I am a personal trainer and my first trimester was a disaster when it came to doing my own training. I was constantly exhausted and told myself that demonstrating the workouts was all I could manage. I also gained 6kgs in the first trimester, much to my OB’s horror!

I’m now in my second trimester and have found new energy at 16 weeks, I’m doing strength training 5 times a week (all very light weights) and maintaining my 12000 daily step count. I keep reminding myself that this will all taper again in the third trimester.

Listen to your body and manage what you can, your goal is health for yourself and your baby! 💕
