Pregnancy fitness besides lifting?

What are are some ways to stay active without lifting. I like lifting for my legs, but otherwise it’s boring and so repetitive. I’ve always enjoyed classes because I grew playing club volleyball. In my 20’s now I’m into kickboxing but other than that what else could I do? I get 8k steps minimum a day to keep the body moving, but I’m honestly bored.

Rethinking if I should do the blood glucose test. Opinion?

I’m almost 23 weeks pregnant and have a blood glucose test scheduled with my midwife. I honestly don’t want to drink the highly processed sugar water. I eat about 2 -3 gummy bears a day because I have a craving for something gummy but that is the extent of my sugar intake. The thought of feeling like crap for a day because of 50g of sugar is just not what I want to do. The doctor already told me I am not at risk for having GD because I was 55 kg at the beginning of being pregnant.

P.S I live in Belgium so I don’t know of other alternative tests.

As normal I’m very hungry and 4 months pregnant. I am starving when I wake up everyday and I tell him and instantly get the comment that I shouldn’t eat too much. I eat very healthy, like dogmatically healthy. We are on a trip right now so it is much harder. I’m honestly worried about under eating and what it can do to my baby.

Edit : I’m 16 weeks and 5’0 I went from 57kg and last check up 59kg at 13 weeks. So roughly 3 kg gain.
