Good advice: if you're tired, make yourself get some exercise, even (or especially) if you're pregnant!
I have observed before that I feel better when I am getting exercise, but for some reason I have lacked motivation to be consistent. Jon has been bugging me a lot about exercising, mostly I think because I told him I needed and wanted to do it. I still wasn't doing much more than once a week.
After the last midwife apointment, Jon said something that finally kicked me into gear. "You need to be prepared to push out a big baby. Please do your exercises!"
I have been doing two different sets of exercises designed for pregnancy. One is the third trimester E-cise set by
Pete Egoscue and the
Quick Fix Prenatal Workout DVD. If I start my E-cises, then Jonathan usually asks me to turn on the exercise video. They are easy enough to not tire me out (if I do only two out of three on the DVD) and yet I can tell they are working. And in general, I'm feeling less tired!
