Really need to get fit!

[xshauna_bazx]

I have got so unfit i'm out of breath walking up the stairs how bad is that! I NEED to do something about it...gonna healthy eat. What exercise can i do? can i jog?

 

[snr1982]

if you have done jogging before then you can, otherwise i don't think its recommended. I have just started back doing it after 2 months off and its a bit uncomfortable and sore on my back but hopefully it will get better. Swimming is suppose to be the best thing if you havent done much. I'm gonna start doing that again next week but not sure i like the idea of wearing a swimsuit as i feel so horrid and massive! they have ladies nights at my pool though, so think i will go then.

I'm right there with you, Shauna! D: I've been telling the DH how I reaaaaaally need to start doing something as I'm turning into a tubby mess.

For us both, I would just suggest some walking From everything I've read, if you were to do a brisk walk for 2 miles, you burn just about the same amount of calories if you had jogged those same 2 miles. I really do think walking is the best way to go as it's so much less stress on your body, and totally permissible while pregnant (unless your doctor has advised you limit activity). As SNR stated above, jogging is usually OK, but only if you had a regular jogging routine prior to falling pregnant. Now is not the time to be starting any new crazy exercise routines

 

[xshauna_bazx]

No my body won't be used to jogging then haha.

I don't really like going out no more as i feel a fat mess lol...seriously i'm always hoping i don't see anyone i know.

Also don't like walking because i get so out of breath so easy and its embarrassing infront of OH.

When i first went with him i was so slim now he must think oh god what a mess... i'm like a map of stretch marks

all over my body. Thighs, back of legs, boobs, belly, sides, arms...i really dont feel nice right now

That's the same as me. I don't like going out in case someone I haven't seen in a while sees me and thinks omg what has happened to her. I don't even look pregnant, would be good if I did but i just look fat.. grr. come on bump!

I'm sure your OH half loves you just the same as he did when you first met, probably more in fact! I'm fine with mine but that's only because he is soo interested in the "bump" - he is always rubbing it and always says bye to it in the morning when he leaves for work. men are funny creatures..

 

[xshauna_bazx]

I'm glad im not alone at least lol. Well he has been with worse than me all his exs were like...3 of me so i should feel like a model but i don't lol infact i feel like them. I really need to do something with myself, i used to really look after myself now ive gone way down lol.
I don't look pregnant either even though my belly is round it just looks like a beer belly lol.
OH has been doing my head in doing that lol...he kisses it and where he needs to shave tickles me and me an my hormones go in a mood ... i just can't help it lol. They are very strange i walked in on OH dancing naked in the bathroom mirror before...i know him too well lol.

 

[heidi-hi]

Shauna, i know how u are feeling! When me and oh got together i was 16 years old and a size 6!!!! Now i am now 21 and like a size 14 and sometimes 16! It really used to depress me, i am better now but still feel horrid! He says i shouldnt be bothered and im a 'woman' now hahaha and i was a kid back then, which i guess i was, we both were. I also dont feel like ive got a bump yet, and looks more like a beer belly, it must be growing though coz i am getting stretch marks on it, either side of belly button and the bottom bit (as much as i plaster oil on) Also i have them on inside of my thighs from gaining weight, and although they are silver now i hate them.

Ive always done exercise, like gym, kayaking and sometimes swimming but now im doing swimming 3 times a week. I feel disgusting in my costume considering we went to Egypt in summer and i was in a bikini all the time i feel alot bigger! God what are we like! Hope u feel better about it soon xxxxx

 

[xshauna_bazx]

Thanks hun yeah i feel like that...having another shitty night where you think of things and get yourself depressed...gotta snap outta it! Sick of feeling low xxx

 

[mumofmany]

Oh tell me about it, I cant believe how unfit I am we bd last night and i got stitch and out of breath so had to let him go on top. I was doing gymnastics 1 night a week when i found out i was pregnant, how can i get that unfit that fast, i never did with the others. i think i have turned lazy with this one as I know its my last i just want to rest before all hell breaks loose and i am a mum of 6. I may try swimming in the day when kids at school and ask MIL to have my 12 month old.

 

[heidi-hi]

Put something funny on tv! Thats if there is anything... I have nights like that too especially lately trying to get a 5000word assignment for uni done! Then oh is away in the week and goes to bed at 10 coz hes up early... Loadsa my friends have kids and are always busy or the rest are out and about and im like who can i txtttt and talk to! Try swimming with friends or your mum? My mum comes with me sometimes, once your in the pool its fine.... its just that walk to the pool! xxx

 

[xshauna_bazx]

Oh the dreaded walk to the pool...dunno if i could do it! My mam wont come with me she wouldnt be seen dead in a bikini or anything. I only really have one "friend" that i can go to their house if you know what i mean...i talk to my old friends but dont see them...lack of confidence really. OH always wants me to do sumet with him like go for a meal i always work my way out of it im boring. I just can't drag myself out of the house...think ill speak to my midwife about it, but doubt she will listen shes not a listener.
I'll put something on if i can find anything on shitty sky.

 

[xshauna_bazx]

Oh and the friend... i dont even think shes a friend to be honest xxx

 

[cherelle]

aww shauna chin up hun! i wish i lived closer id go swimming with u!

im sure theres things you can do at home to make yourself feel a bit fitter - as crap as it sounds even doing some light housework to get your blood pumping would be good?

Im worried about not going out or doing anything when i go on maternity leave - thats why im trying to work as long as possible because im very active at work. At least it should start getting warmer soon and thats more of an incentive to get out and about? xx

aww don't be so hard on yourself, you haven't gone way down, you are pregnant. That is what you have to keep telling yourself. Once the baby is born you can start looking after you again and get back into shape. Go out walking with the baby and breastfeeding is suppose to help you lose weight too. We all feel like that so your not alone at all. I went out for a meal last night and kept pulling on my cardigan to cover myself up, my the other half was like - what you doing and was laughing. I just felt uncomfortable they don't get it though.

at catching him dancing naked in the mirror! You should have taken a video of that .. and then you could watch it over and over again to cheer yourself up.

As for the swimming if I lived closer to you i would go with you! I'm dreading going next week but i've just got to do it. if anyone looks at me funny then I'm gonna let loose the angry pregnant hormones..

mumofmany - Ooh another gymnast! I was really worried that I would never be able to go back to it after having a baby but if you were doing it after 5 then there is hope for me yet! I don't need to be good at it, I just really enjoy it and find all other excercise so boring in comparison. What made you decide to do gymnastics after 5 babies?

I was always a gymnast from the age of 3, i was in the british team from 9 and gave it up when i went to stag school at 16, but i carried it on in my dancing when i was a dancer so was still dancing with my 1st 2 and gave up dancing a year after my 2nd. I found an adult free style class and went back it after my 4th, then again after my 5th. I love it your right so much more fun than normal excersice. and i go with my brother and sister.

I can reccomend this dvd to anyone looking for something to do which is not strenuous but makes you feel like you have done something the day after and is just for pregnant women! It's cheap and fast (ish) paced and I have really enjoyed it.

How are u feeling today Shauna? I know what u mean about some friends not being friends, they just arent worth it. Your not boring!! U dont come across boring at all, your just feeling low at the moment and its making u feel like u dont want to go out. Maybe drive out of your town to another place where u don't know anyone and go for a meal with your oh. xxxx

 

[xshauna_bazx]

Thanks alot girls i really appreciate it...

I'm okish today even though i slept in til 12

I would feel alot better if we had a car then i could go places as i hate public transport...i feel like i'm getting stared at and everything...always hated it even when i was slim and confident-ish. (OH can drive but he hasn't passed or took lessons)

Theres a girl who i used to work with shes a few days ahead of me and bigger than me too she said she'd come swimming with me...but its the making the conversation with someone you havent saw in ages.

I do housework and get moving but after everything is clean i'm like...what now lol. I have no motivation ... wish i did.

Thanks for all your replies least someone cares xxx

 

[pinkymum]

I've been saying I'll go to aqua natal classes at the pool since I fell pregnant - don't want to go on my own either Hun and I'm a pretty confident person.
