Your thoughts ?!

Question

Torn and confused:/ my Dr . Was very serious how he doesn't want me to continue to work out the way I havebeen during pregnancy. I did a lot of research and the Dr pretty much shot me down and said you want to train for the Olympic or have a baby. Of course I'm going to listen to the Dr because I don't want anything to happen to our little peanut, but just torn if that is just his beliefs or not. I have been working out pretty much my whole life not like I just started. Anyone else dr tell them pretty much only walking and 10 lbs weights ?!?

Answer

My doctor ran a marathon the day before she delivered. Her body was already accustomed to it. You just have to take extra precaution and listen to your body so you don't injure yourself or overdo it.

Answer

Your muscles get weaker during pregnancy and you are more prone to tearing or injury if you overdo it or if your lifting weights - you can carry on exercising just pay attention to your body and dont push yourself too hard.

Answer

Honestly if there's something going on in your pregnancy that makes it so you can't work out as heavily, please try to take it easy. Your body is accustomed to working out though ....I feel like suddenly stopping would put you more at risk than anything else.

Answer

You can definitely exercise during pregnancy. Just not as hard. What about prenatal yoga?
