Runners?

Question

Hi! I am early in my pregnancy and have not been able to keep up anything much more than walking in previous pregnancies. I would like to keep running during at least my first trimester. Any active Moms with tips to be able to keep it up?

Answer

I kept running in my third pregnancy the entire time! I was running several miles a day still even when I was overdue at 41 weeks! It can be done, as long as you’re feeling ok and you and baby are well! I found that I had to push myself through the first couple miles bc I’d have an overwhelming urge that I needed to pee ( even though I would go right before I started), but after mile two everything settled in and felt fine!

Answer

I’ve been able to exercise just fine and I believe it helps symptoms (I like to think). Lots of water and electrolytes too! 15 mins of walking is better than no minutes, always keep that in mind.

Answer

If you have Facebook, I recommend joining “Running While Pregnant”. Honestly, I always needed to back off in first trimester because of nausea and fatigue. With my first two pregnancies, I started back running more regularly in second trimester and ran until 33-34 weeks (including a half marathon around 24 weeks with my first). I didn’t end up running in my third pregnancy.

Answer

My first pregnancy I didn’t during the first trimester because it was and IVF pregnancy and my husband was too anxious however in the second I restarted (slowly) and ran up until 33is weeks when I switched to mostly walking. Would definitely recommend consulting with PT too if you have any pelvic pains.
