Exercise during first trimester?

Question

Is it safe to go running while pregnant in your first trimester? I love to go running, do yoga, pilates, isometric exercise.  And I havent been able to talk to my docotor about this yet I just wonder what you guys did during your pregnancy to stay fit. I am getting tired of just going on a walk.

Answer

Everything I’ve read (and my doctor confirmed) was that if I was doing it before pregnancy, I can continue doing it pregnant (I wasn’t doing things like high impact sports, intense rock climbing, skiing, scuba diving). Have been encouraged to continue with my spin classes, HIIT workouts, yoga. I won’t go for a run since I wasn’t running before, but unless you’re high risk I imagine your doc will say you can keep doing what you were doing previously.

Answer

It’s absolutely safe.  I slowed down when I started having tons of cramps every time I worked out but most women are able to do their normal workout through pregnancy.  Stop as things get uncomfortable, your body will tell you.  I continued to do walking and prenatal yoga all the way through.  4+5 now with this pregnancy and am running yet without issues.

Answer

I'm lifting, hiking, practicing yoga, and cross country skiing. My midwife says it is an old fashioned thought that women can't be active when pregnancy and modern medical protocols encourage exercise. I've been told I can do anything I regularly did before pregnancy, as long as my body doesn't tell me to stop.

Answer

I spin every day! With my previous pregnancy I was lifting until 34 weeks. If your body Is used to it, go for it.

Answer

If you ran before then it’s fine, just don’t start anything new. I used to run but I had some spotting so my doctor advised just walking on the treadmill until it stops for a while.

Answer

I ran through 24 weeks when it just didn’t feel right for me but continued hiking and CrossFit

Answer

I have continued my same workouts. Keep it up lady!

Answer
