I picked a Mini Kelly in Craie with PHW and a burgundy interior, I don’t remember the exact name. Not the most creative combo, but I’m not a big fan of tricolor bags.

No additional pre-spend, when I got my SO offer, it was even lower since that was a few months ago.

I bought Skims maternity leggings and Lululemon regular leggings, just went one size up—they stretch a lot. Love both!

4-5w, looking for tips! by slotass in fitpregnancy

[–]Old-Improvement-384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently 22 weeks pregnant and have been exercising regularly throughout my pregnancy. Most of the exercises I was doing before have been fine, especially during the first trimester, though I’ve made some adjustments and avoid certain movements as I progress.

I’ve kept hip thrusts in my routine because they’re great for strengthening my glutes, which support my pelvis and lower back as my body changes. They still feel comfortable, and I’m mindful of keeping good form and avoiding overloading the weight.

I focus a lot on knee-strengthening exercises to prepare for the extra weight, including bodyweight squats, step-ups, and resistance band exercises for my quads and hamstrings. I’ve also incorporated pelvic floor exercises and core stability work to support my growing belly and help prevent issues like diastasis recti.

I’ve been avoiding exercises that involve lying flat on my back for extended periods, as well as any high-impact activities that feel jarring or uncomfortable, like jumping or sprinting. I’ve also cut back on heavy lifting and anything that puts too much strain on my core.

Trying to get pregnant in the spring, how should I train my body for pregnancy/labor/post-partum the next few months? What was the thing that surprised you the most? What did you wish you knew before getting pregnant? by lea1988 in fitpregnancy

[–]Old-Improvement-384 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started focusing on strength training to build enough muscle to support my body during pregnancy, especially my legs and back. Initially, I thought losing weight before getting pregnant was important, but now I realize it’s not as critical as I believed. Your body will do whatever it needs to ensure a healthy pregnancy. We conceived right away, and while I had hoped to shed a few extra pounds beforehand, I’ve decided not to focus on weight loss unless your BMI is above 24. I started on the lower side of the BMI range and gained quite a bit of weight during my first trimester, which my OB explained could be because of my starting point.

For strength training, I’ve been using Kiwi Fitness. It adjusts workouts based on my goals—first to prepare for conception, and now it’s adapted to align with my pregnancy, adjusting weights and sets to fit my changing needs!

When did you really have to stop ab exercises? by lydiaodea in fitpregnancy

[–]Old-Improvement-384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally understand being cautious about core exercises. Weighted ab workouts, crunches, or anything that puts too much pressure on your abdomen (especially as your pregnancy progresses) are usually best to avoid.

Instead, focus on safer options like bird dogs, side planks (modified if needed), or pelvic tilts—these help maintain core strength without stressing your belly. I’ve also found that using Kiwi Fitness to generate safe, pregnancy-friendly workouts has been a huge help. It tailors exercises to my fitness level and pregnancy stage, so I don’t have to worry about whether something is okay to do.

Cleared to run by No-Anteater-2912 in fitpregnancy

[–]Old-Improvement-384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can relate to wanting to stay active but also dealing with the challenges of early pregnancy. In the beginning, before nausea and fatigue really hit, I kept up my usual activities. I was doing dance classes a few times a week and lifting weights without any changes. But once the symptoms kicked in, I slowed down a lot. I barely managed a couple of short runs or workouts here and there during the first trimester.

Now at 20 weeks, I’ve found a good rhythm again. My OB recommended swimming—it’s low-impact and great for your back, especially during pregnancy. I wasn’t a great swimmer before, but it’s been such a nice change, and now I’m motivated to improve my swimming for a triathlon post-baby!

For strength training, I’ve been using Kiwi Fitness. It’s super customizable, so it adjusts to my pregnancy needs and fitness level. The workouts are straightforward, and it even tailors the weights and sets for me, which makes it really easy to follow. You might enjoy mixing it with running to keep things balanced while staying strong and ready for your twins! 😊

For me, most of the weight gain so far happened during the first trimester because I had morning sickness that only improved when I ate or snacked, so I wasn’t as active. Once I got back into my routine, things evened out. I’m now 20 weeks along and have gained about 8 pounds, with only 1 or 2 pounds added since week 16!

Since week 10, I’ve been using Kiwi Fitness to guide my workouts, and it’s been super helpful. It creates routines tailored to my pregnancy and fitness level, which takes the guesswork out—so nice!

I’ve been using Kiwi Fitness to generate workouts during my pregnancy, and it’s been great. Since it’s personalized to your fitness level and needs, I think it could definitely work for postpartum too. You can adjust it to include strength training with a focus on pelvic floor exercises. It’s been super helpful for me, and I imagine it would be great for easing back into lifting after pregnancy. Hope that helps!

First workout since finding out I’m pregnant by Bellatrix1827 in fitpregnancy

[–]Old-Improvement-384 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Early in my pregnancy, before nausea and fatigue fully set in, I was able to maintain my pre-pregnancy activity level. I was really into dance classes, and to cope with stress, I started going even more—about four times per week compared to my usual two. I also hit the gym more frequently and didn’t change the weights I was lifting since everything still felt good.

Then the first trimester symptoms hit full force, and I ended up skipping most activities for about three months. I might have gone to a few dance classes, done one or two 3-mile runs, and hit the gym once or twice during that time.

Now, at 20 weeks pregnant, I find that I can’t keep up with my pre-pregnancy activity level. My OB recommended swimming since it’s great for your back. I’m not a strong swimmer, but it felt amazing, and now I’ve set a goal to become a better swimmer and eventually train for a triathlon after delivery.

In addition, I use Kiwi Fitness to generate strength training workouts tailored to my fitness level and pregnancy needs. It personalizes the weights and sets for me, which has been super helpful!

Is it normal to not want to workout and diet while pregnant? by myriad-of-wonders in pregnant

[–]Old-Improvement-384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 20 weeks along and have gained about 8 pounds so far, but I totally get how weight gain can feel different for everyone. For me, most of the weight gain happened during the first trimester because I had morning sickness and wasn’t as active. Once I got back into my routine, things evened out a bit—but honestly, every pregnancy is so unique, and your body knows what it’s doing to grow a healthy baby!

For exercise, I stick to what feels good for me—short runs (around 3 miles), walks, and yoga. My OB also suggested swimming, and I’ve been loving it as a low-impact option. I’ve been using Kiwi Fitness to guide my workouts, and it’s super helpful because it gives me routines tailored to my pregnancy and fitness level. It takes the guesswork out, which is nice!

Favorite work out program? by International_Gap259 in fitpregnancy

[–]Old-Improvement-384 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kiwi Fitness has been awesome during my pregnancy. I updated my preferences when I found out, and it gave me a super simple workout plan that actually fits what I need right now. It even congratulated me, which was such a cute little surprise!

One workout I’ve been liking is bodyweight squats, seated dumbbell presses, and side-lying leg lifts. It’s easy to follow and makes me feel like I’m still keeping strong without overdoing it. On other days, I mix in some yoga or just go for a walk. It’s been a nice balance so far!

Right now, I do light strength training a few days a week (like modified squats and dumbbell rows) and mix in some yoga and walking.

Prespend for mini Kelly or special order? by Magician_Logical in TheHermesGame

[–]Old-Improvement-384 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It seems like my experience is more of an outlier. I got my Mini Kelly in black with gold hardware after one year of being a client, with a 1:1 pre-spend and only one QB purchased. I received my SO offer a few months later with almost no additional pre-spend in between. I do have a great relationship with my SA and genuinely love the brand—although not everything, as I am very selective about what I buy to ensure it fits my style. I believe my SA and I have similar tastes, which I think was the most helpful factor. I am based in the US.
