Anyone exercising with twins? Need inspiration!

Question

I am only 8 weeks and still running  5k and doing my free weights 6 times a week. I feel guilty working out now that I have twins and they have a greater risk to miscarry. Is anyone or has anyone worked out with twins and been ok? Thanks for the support ladies.

Answer

I was told I shouldn't with my twins, I was still very active but did not excersise heavily, only light activity. I went into labor at 28 weeks with my fraternal twins. Premature rupture of membranes. This is my experience only, but I always advise great caution to other mothers carrying twins. It really is high risk, even when you don't feel so. You should just be careful. Take it easy, momma. Don't worry about weight gain.

Answer

the rule of thumb is to only do what you can  do while still carrying on a conversation.  If you can jog and talk at the same time,  in theory,  that's fine.  However with a multiple pregnancy I would highly suggest you talk with your doctor in depth about your level of activity before pregnancy,  how active you'd like to remain,  and your personal risk factors. Together you can come up with a plan that is safe for you and your babies.
