Overdoing it
What signs does your body give you that you need to "slow down" and rest for a bit? I am constantly on the go, and sometimes I have a hard time slowing down. Just wondering what your body tells you.

Re: Overdoing it
I usually get out of breath I've noticed. Usually this will happen after I'm cleaning or doing work in the house or having a hectic day at work where I'm constantly leaving my desk.
It's funny because before I was pregnant, I was running marathons, half marathons, etc and here I am out of breath after 10 minutes of maybe overdoing it.
I would suggest just ensuring that you give yourself even a 5-minute break when you feel you are overdoing it - even just sit somewhere and drink some water to relax.

Re: Overdoing it
I get out of breath or have back pain. I just stop and take it easy. Whatever I'm doing can wait.

Re: Overdoing it
I will get back pain, sore feet, swelling, tired (like I stood on line at Great Adventure all day), cramping only if I've really overdone it.

Re: Overdoing it

Re: Overdoing it
i don't usually know right away, but i do get out of breath sometimes and my feet/legs get sore, so that's when i tell myself to take a break. i also try to take a nap every day after work if possible to catch up on the sleep i know i'm not getting at night.

Re: Overdoing it
I know what you mean. I still try to do everything I did before pregnancy. I feel it more at night after a long day.
I usually don't stop during the day but around 7pm I put my feet up and change into PJ's and try and relax. As long as I don't over do it I am fine. Took a nice bath yesterday for a while  that was so relaxing.
Read one of my books with no TV or rest with the cat purring. Some of my favorite things 
Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy!
