Workout while pregnant ?

Question

hello moms. did y'all workout when you were pregnant ? And if so how long into your pregnancy ? We have had 2 miscarriages now and my OBGY said working out has nothing to do with hurting the baby... It just seemed like I could have worked out "to hard" ? I started feeling bad cramps while working out, I just didn't know I was already pregnant.  anyways... What is your experience?

Answer

I am still exercising. My doctor said it’s fine and recommended it even. I think it is only a concern if you are increasing the intensity by a lot. Like if you go from being sedentary to doing CrossFit.

Answer

I swim and run basically so it’s easier to keep up with that. If running isn’t the mood for the day, rollerblading or just taking a long walk works.

Answer

If you were exercising before, then my OB says keep it up.  Listen to your body and just know when to take it slightly easier than usual is all.
 
My 13 month old is 27lb and you are told NOT to pick up anything more than 20lb while pregnant... well that wasn’t happening, hahahahaha.  I asked my OB and she actually laughed and said I was fine.  She just cautioned me from carrying him for too long because it can hurt my back, but because I was picking him up before I can still do so safely now.
