Is running still okay?

Question

I found that I was pregnant just a wake-up call so from my last menstrual I am 5 weeks along I will see the doctor on Monday my question is can I still run I've been running for years and then stop for a while last year due to injury but I've been consistent the last 3 months I was told by so many people including my friend who's a registered nurse that I shouldn't be running until the second trimester but I see so many women continuing their  workout regimen should I keep running or wait for my doctor's appointment?

Answer

As long as your GP clears you for no issues or high risk pregnancy then technically because you have already been running you can continue. Just don’t try and get faster or longer. 
I still run about 20km per week and am in my third trimester.

I think it’s fine if you continue running. But don’t increase the duration or the intensity of your runs. Your body is conditioned to workout so you’ll be fine. 
BUT I’m not a doctor, so you should really talk to your doctor about this.

If it is what your body is used to doing and you’ve been doing it for the last 5 weeks you can. Just don’t push yourself too hard be sure to keep extra hydrated during the heat of the summer

Answer

If it feels good for you do it! A general rule is to not push so hard that you can’t say a complete sentence :)

Answer

the first trimester everything is so fragile...docs say you can be at the same activity level you were at before but I would maybe cut your run time in half the first trimester
