were you able to return to exercising in your 2nd tri? I didn't exercise really at all with DD, but began running at the new year and completed my first half in June. I was hoping to run another half in December, whether pregnant or not, I got a BFP in mid-August and continued running medium distances (for me) with dr's clearance. I started spotting after our 1st ultrasound and it didn't stop or slow down for weeks. I mentioned it and was told as long as it's not red blood (which it is not) I'm fine to continue. Fast forward to last week and at our recent appointment I was told I had to stop until I was safely out of the 1st tri (9 weeks tomorrow). I'm bummed, but obviously want to do whatever necessary to keep this baby safe. So all that to ask, if you had to stop running in 1st tri, were you able to do ok through your 2nd tri? I'm allowed to do low impact/limited low cardio (walking or yoga) and I'm obviously expecting to have to start slow, but any advice and stories are appreciated!! Thanks ladies!

Re: If you were "benched" during 1st tri...
yoga, walking on incline, hiking, biking.
my doc said I could continue to run, since I was a runner prior to- but I felt bad for the baby. bouncing all over the place hahaha. so I stopped and started running again after DD was born.
With number 1, I was benched during first tri and was able to return to working out for about a month or two before I was benched again.
I would think that if you could continue with low impact exercises, that as long as you continued doing them that it would be doable to start up again here in a few weeks. You may not have the same endurance, but I think that is going to be true regardless just from being pregnant.
