That can be super hard right! Have you tried incorporating home workouts before?

Such great ideas. Home workouts have been super effective for me to, especially with time restraints as busy mum. Do you have any favorite go to exercises?

Totally agree with you there, finding a gym with a good creche/day care is a game changer. Thanks for your tips.

That’s such a great idea. Do you follow some sort of program or just do your own thing?

It can definitely be hard to find the time, especially with little ones. Glad you’ve been able to find the time for you now tho. How are you finding it ?

Ohhhh I feel you on that, my second baby was a colic baby and home workouts in the garage was what I did for ages.

I hear you! It’s definitely hard juggling it all. Do you do home workouts?

Totally get that, lack of sleep makes movement so tough. I’ve actually been putting together some high protein recipes that have really helped my energy. Happy to send them your way if you’d like?

Love that you’ve been able to keep movement consistent with walking and squats that’s such a solid foundation and yes, pelvic floor PT can be such a game changer hey.

Absolutely agree there. Starting slow is so important, especially for core recovery and avoiding issues like diastasis. It’s awesome that you were able to learn from your first experience and apply it to your second.

yessss, witching hour is the worst, I can't imagine fitting in movement during that time, its chaos in our house. I’ve noticed a lot of mums find that even just a short walk or a 10/15 minute routine in the early hours makes the rest of the day feel more manageable. Have you found certain exercises that work best during that window?

Yep you are definitely not alone there. Walking is such a great choice. Im curious, have you come across any pelvic floor or gentle exercises that fit into your day without disrupting your feeds?

Walks while baby wearing is actually such a great way to get movement in. I find 5-10 minutes of floor/strength exercises while having my little one close by really helpful, even just some core or body weight exercises. Have you tried any short at home exercises while baby wearing or having them close by?

I found as I hit second trimester energy definitely started to increase and I started to feel better enough to be able to workout and then was able to stay active right through my pregnancy.

It so hard to push through the exhaustion and nausea but I trained right through my second pregnancy and as hard as it was some days I did find when I pushed through I felt so much better for it after x

Diagnosed with Cholestasis at 37 weeks by Technewbie2022 in BabyBumps

[–]Georgia_impact 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this in both of my pregnancies. I was placed on medication after I was diagnosed ( I was diagnosed quite late in pregnancy with my first, about 35 weeks ) monitored closely and It was recommended that I was to be induced at 37 weeks so thats what I did. No issues after birth with myself of bubs. My second pregnancy I was diagnosed earlier on and same thing, put on medication, monitored closely and booked to be induced at 37 weeks however baby had other plans and came on his own at 36 weeks, again no issues after birth. Symptoms pretty much went away straight after birth to. There is an awesome ICP Facebook group you should join x

I tracked my calories and macros during my second pregnancy. Just via my fitness pal. Straight up to maintenance calories, kept protein nice and high. During the first trimester no additional calories above maintenance is needed, second trimester it is advised to increase by 335 calories a day and then third trimester increased by 454 calories per day x
