Advantages: keeps you fit and active

Disadvantages: can tire you out

Obviously it is good to maintain levels of exercise when pregnant. Unfortunately when I was pregnant with my first child, I used this as an excuse to not to have to exercise at all, and to stuff my face with food. I was an active person, who ate healthily, and turned over night into a fat blob who did nothing !! It obviously then took me longer to regain my pre pregnancy weight. So now that I am expecting again I am determined to stay active ( although the eating has been a bit overactive too ). I am expecting twins , and I am 23 weeks at the moment. As I am so huge already I am finding it hard to stay active. My 14 month old little boy keeps me on my toes, but I get so tired really quickly. I haven't done any structured exercise as I believe that you can stay just as active by regular walks. But this is impossible at the moment as after even 5 minutes I have to sit down. I think you need to be realistic, and go with what your body will allow.
