Running while pregnant?

Question

I am 18 weeks preggers and FINALLY have my full energy back (hello!!!). I've always been overweight but a fit overweight. I swear to you I haven't worked out since January of this year! My legs have turned to jelly. I used to be a runner and thoroughly enjoyed running outside to keep fit. Is this something pregnant women can do? I seem to get winded now just going up the bloody stairs! Any exercise tips for a fit healthy pregnancy are welcome!

Answer

They say you can run if you're a runner before (consistently), but it's not something you should take up while pregnant. There are plenty of pregnancy exercises on YouTube!

Answer

sex and the city!! Charlotte was afraid to run and her doctor told her to keep running! start with a walk and see how you feel then work up to a run. Baby is safe and If you're not high risk then you are safe too

Answer

I'm still running, but I never stopped. My thing now at 30w is running 1-2 blocks, and then walking a few blocks . The intervals help me keep my heartrate under control and give me time to listen to my body. Today I did 3 miles, which was a little too much for me, and I ended up having to take an uber home to relax after. Keep an eye on your body, it will tell you when you're pushing too hard.

Answer

They say whatever you were doing before you were pregnant you may continue to do, but don't start anything new.

Talk to your doctor. But since its been a minute, I'd take it nice and slow, see how I feel, and make adjustments accordingly. Listen to your body.

Answer

I wouldn't if you haven't for a while. When I was pregnant with my daughter I ran like not far at all. Got inside and had a Gush of blood in underwear. Placenta pulled away from the wall or something they described. Luckily everything worked out ok

Answer

Maybe try a light jog. Just listen to your body. Stay hydrated, stop if you start feeling too weak or hot, and try to control your breathing. Don't force anything or push yourself too hard.

Answer

My husband has three cousins that run marathons all will they where pregnant. Talk to your doctor. For the most part of it something you did before you can keep doing it. I had to stop my training because I do martial arts. Lately it has been Brazilian jujitsu which you can't do pregnant.
