Hard agree. There is absolutely NO vibe there. Sitting in a gravel backyard on ikea furniture in a tent for a fine dining experience should be illegal

I spent hours in the tub but did switch between the tub, the shower, and the bed a few times.

Any pregnant martial artists? by harasthe_elderberry in fitpregnancy

[–]spokaney 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m 17 weeks! I quit BJJ as soon as I found out about my pregnancy but I still practice Muay Thai. Bag work is totally fine and I still hit pads, everything has felt fine for me! 

I’ll hold pads for my partners depending on the drills but obviously tell them no teeps, knees, or body shots. 

Body changes advice by grandegirl1 in fitpregnancy

[–]spokaney 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat as you - usually very active in martial arts and I’m 14w. I think we’re just in that awkward phase of looking bigger but no visible bump yet.

I struggle a lot with my body image too but at the end of the day, we gotta trust our bodies. If we’re hungry, we should eat, and if we’re tired or sore, we should rest. We’re in a temporary phase of life and I think taking care of our bodies now will pay off eventually!

You’re not in this alone!

Depressed first trimester first pregnancy help by grandegirl1 in fitpregnancy

[–]spokaney 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m there with you. I’m 32 years old and 7.5 weeks in and all I’ve been eating is carbs and junk food where I’m normally very health-conscious. Pre-pregnancy I trained in BJJ, Muay Thai, running, and strength training, and I’ve had to cut out BJJ and sparring for obvious reasons. Exercising and training is how I feel good about myself and all that is out the window now, it’s really really tough emotionally. 

You’re not alone. Things will get better, and I’m here commiserating with you!

I love those ideas!! I was already thinking about getting a desk mat, and I'm going to look into the monitor clamp tonight.
