faint feeling after exercise

hi mamas, I used to be very active and a gym-rat (I attend gym classes 3-4 times a week). ever since I found out I'm pregnant, I stopped exercising because I am so exhausted all the time. people have been advising me to exercise even if it's just 15mins a day so labor will be easier. but recently when I started doing simple pregnancy pilates exercises for 15mins, I start feeling faint within 30mins. should I continue to build stamina or just stop doing such workouts? #firsttimemom

I used to be more active too and now in late 2nd tri tend to get more tired easily.. listen to your body and you can cut down the intensity or duration first :) make sure you can still “talk” so you’re not breathless during the exercise.
