Hi everyone !
I'm 27 and just found out I am pregnant (unexpectedly !).
I am around 5/6 weeks..feeling absolutely fine so far apart from sore boobs!
I have obviously stopped drinking and I am taking a pregnacare vitamin daily, is there anything else I should be doing ? Also can anyone advise me on exercise and what I can/can't do! So many different things on google Hmm
Thank you 💗xx

Congratulations! The best advice I got was to be really vigilant with drinking enough water. Any day I didn't I felt awful but when I had had enough I definitely felt the difference. Think they recommend 4 pints a day for pregnant women. Hope all goes well for you xx

Congrats!

Sounds like you're doing fine with vitamins.

As for exercise, what did you do before you got pregnant? I do spin classes, and was advised by my midwife to carry on but just be more aware of your body & don't push yourself too much.

@Bezalelle thanks for your message.
Wow have you been ok doing spin?! I'm fairly active and do quite a lot of classes (mainly using weights like body pump). Think I'd be ok just using lighter weights but just not sure about the ab exercises ? Have you been given any advice on this ? Not sure whether to just do my own workout in the gym so can go at own pace and then leave if I've had enough. Xx
