Fitness.

Hey everyone I was wondering what would be considered too much. I'm estimated 6 weeks and a few days, and I like to go on walks, hike, take bike rides, do yoga and such. And I really want to get back into exercising. So I don't blow up while pregnant. But I obviously do not want to harm the baby. What would be considered too much? And what should I stay away from?

I was told 20-30 pounds is what they think I should gain, but that being baby weight not all fat gain.

Thanks for reading :)

I'm due in 4 days and have only gained 9 pounds. I'm all belly. I've been fit and energetic the WHOLE pregnancy. I watched what I ate and just took care of myself. I always get compliments on how good I look for being 9 months pregnancy. My doc compliments on how perfect everything is and is right on track at my appointments! Its a great feeling! Just don't push yourself. Don't strain or do anything to where you could fall or get hurt. Walking, bike riding, hiking is fine! Just no rock climbing or extreme stuff like that. The farther along you get take it down a notch. Don't PUSH yourself! Only do what your body is used to!
