A mud run while pregnant??

Question

Ok guys I have a mudderella coming up on the 12th of Sept.. I'll be 8 weeks along. I'm wondering if you all think it's safe to do? I've been working out about 2 days a week (t25 and jogging/walking) since june, and ride horse about 2xs a week... However, I went riding yesterday (only walking) and had some spotting but no cramps... Maybe something got irritated? But I'm not sure if I it's ok to do the mud run... Also anyone else had like no pregnancy symptoms... I was sick with my first one but not with this one.

Answer

We just ran the warrior dash two weeks ago,  I was 4 weeks pregnant. I was just super catious. Stayed hydrated. Added walking breaks.  And cleaned up the little scrapes I had with peroxide and neosporin. Saw the baby on an ultrasound Friday.  We're all good :)

Answer

I am a runner and I definitely wouldn't do a mud run while pregnant. I've heard lots of people have gotten sick from contaminated mud. It's easy to get some in your mouth and who knows what's been in that dirt (animal poop being the main concern).

Answer

I would worry about an infection from the mud. Other than that if you are a fit runner running is OK.

Answer

My vote is also no. I wouldn't risk it. You can always do the run next year. & I would say take it really easy if your spotting & talk to your doc.

Answer

Running is great for you and baby but I'm pretty sure horseriding like bike ridding is a no no. I'd call your doctor and ask just to make sure.

Answer

If you are considering a tough mudder, they are pretty rough.  But most of the 5k ones are more like a dirty fun run.

Check with your doc, and see what they say, but if you use common sense, skip any obstacles that might be a problem, you should be fine.

And since when can't you ride a bike while pregnant!?!?!?

Answer

I doing one on the 5th and ill be 8wks. I did one a few months ago, so I know what's involved. I just won't be do the cargo net, only incase I fall. But apart from taking it easy and your pretty fit already. You should be fine. You should know your own body better then anyone.

Answer

Go for it.
I done Miss Muddy during my last pregnancy when I was 11wks.
You can go at your own pace, its not like someone is chasing you with a whip lol.
Just make sure you keep well hydrated.

Answer

I've heard not to rise horses while pregnant and I would think no on the mud run. But I would talk to your doctor

Answer

As always, ask your doctor. But I would say no. Mud runs are pretty rough.
