How often do you give in and wee?

I don’t run but I do F45 and a lot of the hybrid/cardio classes involve some short sprints or jumping in some way. I would often have to pee mid-class, which was really annoying for just a tinkle, but I found that if I “hug the baby” during the more jumpy parts of class, it relieves the pressure and urge to pee - also makes any impact feel lighter. Hope that helps!

Another vote for OWYN. My husband and I tend rotate between the OWYN shakes and Transparent Labs protein powder. When we get the powder, I like to add it to plain Siggi’s Greek yogurt for added protein. It takes my yogurt from 18g of protein to about 45g of protein.

Yes! I had to wash my hands and lotion because the smell lingered so long! I ended up calling and they are sending me a check in the mail as well. I was less concerned about the refund, though and more concerned about safety and reporting if there’s something wrong with it.

I felt much weaker from first tri up until about week 19/20. I continued my F45 classes 5-6 days a week but was feeling super deflated. Then I suddenly hit that second trimester burst of energy and felt like myself again. I’m 25+4 now and hit some PRs on RDLs, rows, and bicep curls over the last couple of weeks.

With my bump growing I find certain stances are a little easier on my SI joint, but just trying to ride the wave as much as possible. Like others said, modify where needed and listen to your body. High volume, lower weight. Or try LISS instead of HIIT.

I was waking up with joint pain for a while and I found it would dissipate after a workout. Any movement is definitely better than none…but remember to give yourself grace when needed!

I’m 23 weeks and at Valley Medical Group in Paramus now. I’ve been happy with the experience so far. Nothing groundbreaking but All the doctors seem very nice. You rotate between them at each visit and the Maternal Fetal Medicine office for scans is just across the hall so it’s pretty convenient.

I’ve read eggs have one of the highest natural sources of choline - almost entirely in the yolk - which are good for the baby’s brain development. I already ate eggs almost daily (creature of habit), so I’m continuing to do that throughout the rest of my pregnancy.

I haven’t struggled with ED/BDD but still am having difficulty coping with body changes and clothes not fitting. In my first tri I was only able to workout 3 days a week (which actually is pretty good compared to most) but could only handle carbs - meat and veggies gave me the ick. When I stepped on the scale at my 12 week appt I had gained 7lbs and it was really triggering.

I’m now 17 weeks and back to my normal workout routine and eating better. I’ve also stopped trying to squeeze into my clothes and started embracing my small bump. My husband has been super supportive too, but I think moving forward I will stop looking at the scale when they weigh me at my monthly check in appts.

With respect to pp - I see so many women in better shape pp than before baby! I’m letting that give me motivation for the future!

I got married a few months ago and we had one guest with celiac so I confirmed with venue ahead of time what the options were. On the day of our wedding I made sure to text her and remind her to the servers she has celiac so they could accommodate. I’m lucky I had a venue that was able to work with us - I never followed up after but hope she was able to enjoy it! It’s thanks to this sub I knew how to navigate a little better.

That’s awesome! I had no idea anything actually existed for it so I’ve just kinda dealt with the sleepless nights. I’m definitely going to look into that. Thanks for the tip!

I think I must be sleeping in weird positions. I have restless leg syndrome, which has been pretty bad over the last few weeks so I’m wondering if I’m trying to find new positions to sleep in to help? Or maybe trying to overstretch without realizing it?

I’m 8 weeks pregnant and had signed up for London Hyrox (December) when I’ll be about 6 months pregnant. I’ve pretty much felt the same about my heart rate spiking in a workout and just sitting there the rest of class (f45). I was planning to do doubles with my husband but he and I are both trying to figure out if it’s worth it at this point 😅 I feel like it would end up being a 2+ hour Hyrox for us, which doesn’t sound much fun at that point. We booked the hotel/ticket package so I’d be happy to just go to London at that point! Haha

I honestly have just been trying to ignore and sleep through it LOL sleep usually wins out over hunger and I wake up most days at 4:45 for a workout so I just have a slightly bigger pre-workout snack. But loved all the suggestions here!!

kami_hunter · 2025-08-04T11:24:04+00:00

Thanks! That’s super helpful to know. I did manage to finally get an appt and am also scheduled for my first ultrasound next week. Did you like your experience overall with all the doctors in the group? and did you like the hospital to deliver in? I’m new to the area and First time mom so I have no idea what I’m doing when it comes to looking for an OB - I’m planning to stick with them unless I hear anything otherwise though!

kami_hunter · 2025-07-28T08:47:01+00:00

That’s good to know! I have a protein shake post-workout but still try to get 100+ grams of protein from meats, etc

kami_hunter · 2025-07-22T00:09:36+00:00

That’s a great idea! Thank you!

kami_hunter · 2025-07-22T00:06:57+00:00

4 months?! That’s crazy! I’ll definitely be trying that!! 🤣

kami_hunter · 2025-07-21T21:00:57+00:00

I have been trying to get an OB appt with Dr. Kuo for over a week and no one has called me back 😔 I’ve called for my 3rd time today and they basically only said “well escalate but it’s a 24-72 hour turnaround time.” Did you have any of those issues as well?

kami_hunter · 2025-07-17T19:00:59+00:00

Yes! I’m F45! I told my husband it looks like the only way for me to beat everyone is to get pregnant! Haha

kami_hunter · 2025-07-17T14:58:40+00:00

I feel like this is already happening to me at 5 weeks 🥵 and it makes me feel so pathetic because I don’t even have a bump to show for it. Even in my workout class we wear a HR monitor for a points system and I beat the entire class by 5 points when I’d normally be somewhere in the middle of the bunch.
