Pregnancy?

Question

I had some questions relating to being pregnant. Kinda want to no truth from myths or false statements.
1)can u run? Or does it have to be light cardio not intense cardio? Cause I heard ur heart rate has to stay below a certain level.
2)can you eat spicy foods? I heard u couldn't cause it can cause a skin condition when ur baby is born 
3)pasteurized or unpasteurized cheese? Can u eat it? What's difference? I heard u couldn't eat certain cheeses just not sure why.
4)laying on ur stomach? Until how many months can u no longer lay on your stomach? I heard some say never other say until 5weeks.
5) if u had a miscarriage and are prego again is it risky to work? Especially when it requires u to be on ur feet for 6 hours straight. Mixed thoughts on it.
6) stress ? Can it really be dangerous when prego.

Answer

You can run as long as you did before you became pregnant.

Idk about spicy foods heard it through the grapevine but never looked into it.

Pasteurized cheese, because you can get listeria from unpasteurized dairy. Pasteurized means it has been heated to a certain degree to rid bad bacteria. Listeria can cross the placenta and cause fetal death.

I was told by my midwife that I can lay on my stomach as long as it feels comfortable. Your body will let you know when to stop. You should stop sleeping on your back around 20 weeks because of the uterus putting pressure on a major vein.

Depends on the cause of the miscarriage.

Depends on the degree of stress.

Answer

I can answer some of these. It is true that it's best to ask your doctor too though 😉

I'm a long distance runner. My doctor said to keep running. He encourages it. He also said not to worry about heart rate but I still monitor it and don't let it get too far above 160. I'm running 14 miles per week (with walk breaks). But I'm sure it depends on each person and pregnancy.

I still eat spicy foods!! I live in NM and we eat chile with tons of meals. I'm loving it!

Answer

These are questions you need to ask your doctor.

Answer

Also it's best to eat pasteurized cheese. Most cheeses are. You just have to read the label. I love blue cheese and assumed I could eat it, but it's pasteurized on my favorite brand!

Answer

I heard that spicy foods could cause contractions so if it's early then maybe not good. I loved jalepenos and I ate them and had the worst reaction! However there are other women who crave them! Stress not good! Umm running I read you can be as active as you were prior to pregnancy.
