Running whilst pregnant is it safe?

Question

I'm 6 weeks on Thursday and I used to going running 3-4 times a week is it still safe to do so I'm just so scared Its going to hurt the baby:/

Answer

Yup!! Even good for you and baby!  I'm 37-3 and did 2.5 miles yesterday.  Just be willing to slow way down.   My time has more than doubled these days:)

Answer

Yep, if it's normal for you. When you see your healthcare provider, let them know you are a regular runner and ask if there are any precautions you should take.

Answer

It is safe as long as you don't overdo it. You need to be able to comfortably hold a conversation - ie not be out of breath or the baby my get reduced oxygen.

Answer

Yes. Running with other conditions, related to pregnancy or not, may be a different story, so if that's the case, ask your doctor. I ran the first couple weeks before symptoms hit and then took a few weeks off. I'm starting back into it. Take it easy and monitor your body. Hydrate well - all day, every day. I firmly believe, and the evidence suggests, that exercise is as good for your baby as it is for you.
