Gym while pregnant during Covid?

Question

Im 20 weeks pregnant. Before Covid I ran 10 miles daily and went to the gym EVERY morning! My mental state isn’t the best without it ( I work 12 hour shifts and have a toddler so it’s my me time and how I blow steam). 
My gym opens Monday and I’d really like to go back. My husband really doesn’t want me to go but I have been working the whole time and going to the grocery store so quite frankly I am sorta numb to it all. Thoughts?

Answer

I isolated since March 9th and just gave birth. They say that pregnant women aren’t at higher risk but to be honest, no one knows crap about this virus. I decided that I didn’t want to risk my child’s future on a disease no one understands. There aren’t enough studies or time to know long term effects. Can you just run outside?

Answer

Just ask yourself are you willing to risk changing your status from big fat positive to covid positive? Covid 19 is not a joke perfectly healthy young ppl “recover” then have permanent heart issues or need a lung transplant. Is that what you want for your baby?

Answer

Work out at home! There are so many good home workouts

Answer

Just had 2 friends test positive and they think they got it from the gym even though they were sanitizing etc. if u go u need to wear a mask.

Answer

We own a crossfit style gym and we decided my mental health was more important than the risk of COVID. So, I’m back in the gym a few days a week, still working out at a home a few days. It’s been tremendously beneficial to my mental health!

Answer

I’m 25 weeks and go to the gym 3-5 times a week. They have the machines spaced out. You can maintain social distancing and I clean the machine before I get on. I go at slow times and there is usually very few people there. I’ve been very cautious, I won’t go out to eat I’m very careful and find the gym to be safe and clean.

Answer

Talk to your doctor. Thatsbasically the one thing my doctor said not to do. Outdoor classes, hiking, etc is safe.

Answer

I started to go back but then 4 families( who are all related but it s a big family ) all came down w the virus.They are my neighbors.Nobody ever thinks it s going to be them.I worked at a store for the forst 11 weeks of my pregnancy n I get the mental state thing..I'm currently typing while outside a store w a snack bc our swimming day got cut short when tons of people showed up at our spot on a river.One of the neighbors worked in a Dunkin Donuts n the other works as a hairstylist in a wal mart.I cant risk having my toddler wind up in the hospital n be alone without me.Nor do I want to risk going there myself .Hopefully we ll get back to normal soon..honestly I m getting a powerful feeling from getting my home gym supplies vamped back up..i used to live working out from home..The news just reported more than 8 million new covid cases ( as i was typing )
