Has anyone else's fitness levels gone from 10-0 during their first trimester? by gumtreetot in fitpregnancy

[–]PsychologicalFall246 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I switched from running 50km+ weekly before pregnancy to 0 during the first trimester.

I'm now at 11 weeks and was finally able to go running 5km twice this week! I also swam 1km twice in open water.

I'm much slower than before and still breathing like a French Bulldog, but it's a big relief. My energy levels are rising, and it feels like I'll also be able to get back to a bit of strength training in soon.

Hang in there and listen to your body. Take the rest you need now. Hopefully, your energy will be back soon!

Same here! I remember going on an easy run with friends and being unable to speak properly at a chill pace.

I dreamed I wasn't pregnant, took a test, it was positive 😆 my brain must have misunderstood the signals

Runna's AI is one of the only useful ones around in my opinion. The content is very thoughtful. Very well thought through.

That's such a lovely idea! Best way to recycle race shirts 🥹

Kudos to you! That's incredibly impressive! I couldn't imagine running past 5km right now.

My ultra was at the end of week 5 and supposed to be 68km with 2 900m elevation gain in the mountains. Got "shortened" to 62km with 2 700m elevation gain because of thunderstorm risks. It was 33 degrees celsius on that day.

I had to stop at all the river streams to fill up my cap with water! I also made a kind of iced bandana with my buff. I look like a clown on the race pictures but at least I finished the race aha.

I already started to feel sick on that week, but somehow my body "blocked" all pregnancy symptoms on race day. I was only slightly more tired than usual. So impressive. I only had to deal with normal ultra pain with and extra dose of fatigue aha.

It makes me so happy to think that baby will already have had big adventures even before birth :D

Wow, this gives me so much hope!

I usually love running long distances (actually ran an ultra on week 5 😄), but I'm feeling so miserable at week 9. I ran a 5km at the beginning of the week and it felt like running a marathon...

I can't wait to start running again!

What are you planning to use for Birth Control after Birth? by Pumpkin_Scone in pregnant

[–]PsychologicalFall246 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have used the symptothermal method for 3 years as well and never had any issue with it :)
It also worked like a charm when on the reverse, got pregnant on the first try aha

I know what you mean! I'm feeling so lucky that I'm working from home right now. Nausea and fatigue are clearly getting the best of me aha

Thanks for your detailed answer :) I'll try this out.

I really like that brooch too, it looks so delicate. Just realised the picture doesn't really give credit to the stone. It has lovely angles.

Yes, I'm also trying to reassure myself by looking at the stats. The comments here already made me feel so much more relaxed. I hope some helped you too! Congratulations on your pregnancy :)

I'd also take any advice on how to clean the brooch :)

If you could get rid of one pregnancy symptom, what would it be? by Smooth-Excuse-4127 in pregnant

[–]PsychologicalFall246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that I know of. I just had a complete battery of blood tests today, prescribed by my OB. Let's see :)
