Should I stop running???

Question

Hey, I told myself I wouldn't freak out, but here I am. I have been running, and had planned to continue running. I usually run 1 mile before my work out and I'm just stressing out that I'm gunna run my baby right out of my uterine wall lol seriously tho, anyone with experience with this? Am I being irrational or should I stop running?

Answer

You’re able to run until it starts to hurt! There are Olympic qualifiers who were (are) pregnant and worked to qualify. You’re allowed to exercise how you were at the beginning, but listen to your body. If it hurts, stop. If you get cramps, slow down. Things like that.

Answer

You’re being irrational. Anything you did before pregnancy you can do during unless specifically told otherwise by your doctor. I’m not a runner but I do high intensity workouts (orangetheory) and have done those through 2 pregnancies and 28 weeks into this one so far. Plan to go to my due date. 
My SIL is a runner and was running 8 min miles at 8 months pregnant!

Answer

I think your ok. Listen to your body. If you feel great while running good for you and keep it up! With my first I exercised all the time I was in such a better place had so much more energy and my body felt amazing even 9 months pregnant. I didn’t struggle getting out of bed or up off the floor however with my second the pelvic pressure has been so bad ive tried exercising but the next day I would be in excruciating pain. This pregnancy has been so much harder because I haven’t exercised. I can’t wait till I can start being really active again. So I would stick with it if your body allows. You will thank yourself by time you get to your last month. Trust me :)

Answer

You can definitely run girl.

Answer

If it feels good and you don’t have any medical contraindications, you can definitely keep running! I strongly recommend joining the group Running While Pregnant on Facebook, it’s an excellent group of women. I’m still running 2-3 miles at a time while 35 weeks pregnant and 40 pounds up! 😅 However, I had to stop around 31-32 weeks with my first as it just stopped feeling good.

Answer

If you ran before pregnancy you can continue to run during pregnancy. I ran up to 4 miles until 28 weeks pregnant. My sister in law never ran less than 5 miles until literally the day before she gave birth.
