A little nervous for 5K on Saturday

in Pregnant after a Loss
Months ago I signed up to do a 5K Run/walk with my ILs. It is this Saturday. None of us plan on running, but I am still concerned since I really haven't had time to prepare for it. It is mostly a flat course, so that should help me (I normally walk through hills). Any thoughts and advice on what I should do, other than listen to my body? I'm debating taking water or Powerade with me. There will be water at the end, but I know I will need liquids throughout. I'll just be over 5 weeks and I've had my last 2 losses under 6 weeks so my PgAL brain is already working against me.

Sorry for the ramble, we don't plan on telling anyone about this pregnancy until after my first appt. So I only have DH to vent to and he is already in "you can't do this or that" mode.

    If you've been pretty physically active before your pregnancy you will be fine!  Besides, you are walking anyway!  And exercise is good for baby and you.  :)  Have fun!

    You should be fine. Drink lots of water and be sure you stretch a bit so you don't get a cramp. Good luck!

    If you're just going to be walking you'll be fine. Walking is encouraged while pregnant. Hydrate a lot the day before and take a water bottle with you on the walk.

    I think you'll be fine. I jogged/walked 2 5K mud run/obstacle courses in the first trimester, and I'm a regular couch potato. Listen to your body; if you need to slow down or take a break, DO. Good luck!

    Depends on how confident you're feeling. If this is going to really upset you and you aren't going to have a great time at the 5K, then skip out.

    If you feel like you'd like to do it and are OK with stopping if you don't feel good (which would be my advice pregnant or not) and can have a good time and be good company, go for it!

    Thanks ladies! I think I'll do good as long as morning sickness stays away for the day, just my worry of "doing something wrong."
