As long as its something that you have always done then carry on.

I am glad they all agree. I think my running was getting very funny towards the end but I still enjoyed it. With the twins age and a big belly, I did stop after a few months but still walked jogged until it became too much for me. Yes do not take it up if you did not do it before, just use your common sense when doing it.

Oh that’s surprising! I stopped running after being two months pregnant. I didn’t think it was safe.

My mother fell whilst running when she was pregnant i wouldn’t take the risk look after your baby if you love them look after them its too late if something happens best wishes and love to all mum’s.

I couldn’t imagine running while pregnant…urgh

I believe you know your body, and in consultation with your GP and OB, that you can make an informed decision that is right for you.

It’s fine so long as it’s part of your normal routine. It’s actually good for you I was able to continue running until about 7.5 to 8mths and it meant that I didn’t gain much weight and I lost it so much easier.

If you are a person who has always run, then continue to do so – just don’t take it up because you are pregnant – that’s inviting disaster.

It looks like they all agree in running during pregnancy. It sound good to me.

I ran a few days per week before I got pregnant with my first. I stopped running during pregnancy but only because it made me feel so sick every time I started to jog.

Think indeed it’s from great benefit to remain in good condition throughout the pregnancy. It’s wise to listen to your body and seek advice and support throughout the pregnancy from various experts.

I’m not a runner so it’s not a big deal to me but if your Dr says it’s fine and you like it why not.

  Exactly – it is so good for the mental health of some people too.

I would think it’s fine if it’s something you were doing already,

If you are a runner then I would assume you could continue doing so.

I think if you are already active and healthy then it’s ok. If you dont already run or exercise and you suddenly start, thats where the issues might come from

I have friends that run and did so during pregnancy. They received some negative comments from some people but ignored it.

you need to listen to your body, it will tell you when it has had enough and needs to slow down

I know a few who have kept running but found it necessary to cut back a bit the last week or so before birth.

Starting a hard new exercise routine while pregnant would never be recommended but if you are continuing with an exercise routine it should be fine.

I’m not a runner so it was never a consideration.
