I am now 26 weeks and 4 days! I am feeling pretty good. I've started having swelling in my legs which has slowed my workout schedule. Thankfully it has come a lot later than during my first pregnancy. I had my six month appointment and was feeling great about how things were going. I've gained 20 lbs so far which is much better than where I was at this time with my first. My doctor however burst my bubble. She is concerned I'm gaining weight too quickly so I will be meeting with a nutritionist to see what we can do. I don't feel like I'm over eating or anything but who knows maybe I am. On a more positive note I have been walking at least 30 minutes 5 days a week. My son has been a great motivator. The warm weather has him wanting to be outside constantly so mommy has no choice but to lace up her tennies and hit the pavement! Today we walked 2.08 miles in 34 minutes. I'm also lifting light weights 5-15 lbs depending what I'm working 3 days a week. I'm hoping to add another day of lifting and another day of cardio to my plan once things slow down a little. So in the next week or so. What types of exercises do you do or did you do to stay in shape while pregnant? I'd love any tips you have!!
