What can i do prego?

Question

Me and my husband are a young couple, been married going on 3 years and we are 21 and 23. The problem is before i got pregnant (which we are thrilled) we partied, did hard workouts, we went and did whatever we wanted. well now im 14 weeks and i dont get out of the house much.. i don't know what to do besides go for a walk and go see a movie or something. Im very bored, and its hard to be excited when their is nothing to do. We got invited to busch gardens and i dont even know if i should go.. i cant do anything but eat and walk around! any suggestions on daily activities to do? I hate feeling left out. anything wil help.

Answer 1

It's hard when you get used to the active lifestyle and then all a sudden it seems to be gone. I was like that also and now i've only been out of the house on a weekend twice since i was 3 months prego and am now 7 months!! I'm craving to do something fun!
Walks, shopping, going out to eat with friends, or even be a friends sober driver once in awhile, bowling, swimming...i know you're limited and it stinks big time but just be patient, it's all worth it in the end.

Answer 2

You should go to Busch Gardens -- there's plenty to do there w/o the usual high in the sky rides - there are shows, calmer rides, walking around eating ice cream, boat rides etc. Being pregnant doesnt mean you stop being fun. : ) Go out with friends, to dinner, to the outdoors. Go to a B&B for the weekend, to the beach, the mountains, new places. My husband and I went to Cancun when we were 4 mos pregnant, and we could still fly, back in March. We stayed at an all-inclusive resort and relaxed, and ate - shopped, enjoyed the frozen non-alcoholic drinks, staying away from the sun between 10-4, by the pool under an umbrella, while reading, playing w/ cross word puzzles, etc. Played modified tennis (1/2 the court) early in the am. You could go bike riding until your belly/OB allows. Just make sure you don't fall or try some new strenous exercise you're not used to. Join a prenatal yoga class, I did, and met other ladies who were in the same situation as me, and made nice friendships, as we shared stories about being pregnant. Just enhance your existing interests/hobbies, and also find new ones. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

just because you are pregnant doesnt mean you have to stop doing what you like to do. you just have to tone everything down a noch. parties: just hang out and dance and stuff, you dont need the alcohol. work outs: just dont push yourself, when you start to feel tired just take a break. if you're only 14 weeks id still go to busch gardens. it might be the last trip you take for a long time. even though you are pregnant you can still do everything you want to with in certain limits so enjoy it because when the baby gets here.... there wont be any free time.

Answer 4

Busch Gardens has some shows, but really I wouldn't want to go. Im your age and just got pregnant too. Between work and college I don't have time to do anything other than go to the movies and take daily walks.

Between keeping the apartment clean and getting it packed up (we moving in with my parents) I really don't have time for anything at all.

I don't know where your finding the time! When im not busy im exhausted and overly fatigued!! Where do you get the energy to want to do more??

Answer 5

Get a job!
Or go volunteer at a childrens museum or something if you dont want to really work.
It gives you something to do, and you're out of the house
I'd personally find a part time job as a cashier or something, just so I Wasnt sitting at home all the time. my first pregnancy I had such bad morning sickness I had to quit my job at 6 months pregnant, and my second, I worked as a security guard (not a great job being prego and on your feet all day)

Answer 6

go to an amusement park, you'll be surprised how many rides are safe for pregos. I went to Disneyland pregnant, and had a blast.

Go to a baseball game, go to the zoo, go out dancing (not thrash dancing, obviously), go to the beach/lake/river/swimming pool. With the exception of horsebackriding and skydiving you can do most everything when you are pregnant.

Answer 7

I had the same problem when I was pregnant. The best thing you can do is be with your husband and friends. You will find out that just being with other people is fun all on its own.

Answer 8

u can work out, just do the trend mill or the bike u just cant do anything real hard ..... working out on them bikes will also make ur labor a lil bit earier .... u can do anything u want while being pg, as long as u r not on bed reast from ur obgyn, just dont over do...if there was sumthing i wanted to do and i wasnt sure if it would hurt the baby i always just called my obgyn and asked her she would tell me yes or no .... me being pg i worked , worked out , walked everyday, went dancing, i did everything i normally do just no drinking and things like that ... i even rode on roller coasters and did all them things people say u dont do and my kids are all fine and healthy ... just depends on u and what u want to do being pg ....

Answer 9

you don't have to be a couch potato....do whatever you feel your body will let you do that doesn't include drinking or injuring the baby (roller coasters etc) also in a few weeks you'll start buying things for the baby and that will take up more time.

relax and enjoy being pregnant!!

congrats and good luck!

Answer 10

my daughter worked herself into labor the day she was due to be induced...You can go to the park, maybe even call your local animal shelter to see if you could walk some CALM dogs! Go to your doc and see what kind of info he can give!
