From those of you who have BTDT or are further along than me (23 weeks), what was your exercise routine like when pregnant with twins?
Up until 9 weeks, I was playing tennis a couple of times a week, plus walking, swimming, weights. I stopped playing tennis on doctor's recommendation at that point and also it was getting uncomfortable.
Since about 16 weeks I have not really been able to walk, as it makes me dizzy and feel like I'm going to throw up and my heart races long after it's done.
So now I swim once/week, do prenatal yoga once/week, and light weights/pilates-type stuff 1-2x/week. Is this enough? I have always been a pretty fit person and it feels weird to me to aim for only 3-4x/week, but I still have 1-2 nasty morning sickness days per week ("morning" occurring from about 10am until bedtime, ie anytime I would exercise). My doctor says whatever is comfortable, but I guess I'd like some reassurance that I'm not tapering off too much.
I have NO signs of PTL, no BH contractions, etc so I'm not too worried about that stuff. I guess I'm just trying to listen to my body but I don't want to be completely out of shape for labor and when the babies are here!
