Pregnant + working out?!

Question

I'm 4 weeks 3 days and too scared to work out.
Im afraid if I work out I will cause a miscarriage, am I being ridiculous? 
I want to stay in shape during my entire pregnancy but very much afraid I could do something wrong.

Answer

I've continued working out ever since I found out I was pregnant 2 weeks ago. All I did was lower the amount of weight and time I lift and decreased the intensity of my cardio. As long as you've been working out prior to getting pregnant it's okay. My doctor told me just to not get my heart rate over 140 for an extended period of time.

Answer

I had a miscarriage at 9 weeks in December and I was still working out and running pretty intense. My dr reassured me my miscarriage was not from working out but I'm still more cautious this time. Avoiding any crunches/sit-ups. Slowed my pace down about a minute a mile from before and not working out as often. So far all is good between 5.5-6 weeks. I have another scan 5/26 to see heartbeat and baby.

Answer

I ride horses, ropes for workout l. My dr told me I could continue to rope until the second trimester. However, I decided not to continue to rope, but I am still working out. Also, I ordered a workout called knocked up fitness. It should be in in the next few days...I'll let you know how it works;)

Answer

I was a heavy weight lifter and training for a fitness competition. I decreased my weight, increased reps and lowered my cardio since I found out 2 weeks ago. My dr recommended it only for MY safety, said I can't really harm the baby.

Answer

You can't really cause a miscarriage (words from an OB ) but do talk to your doctor to see how much is ok for the both of you.
