Re: need help....
From what I've heard, the rule is that if you haven't been exercising prior to getting pregnant than you shouldn't start up a "new" exercise program once you find out you're pregnant. If you've been active (running, aerobics, swimming, weights, etc) than you can continue that and modify it in relation to how you're feeling. I would talk to your OB and see what would be good for you. Walking and swimming are always great. Maybe a pre-natal yoga or Pilates class would be good too. Definitely check with your doc.
Congrats!!!
Congrats! I just found out I'm pregnant a few days ago. I am planning to continue with my current exercises routine but will modify if needed. I'll talk to my doctor as my pregnancy progresses.
Talk to your doctor. You can definitely go for walks, go swimming, etc. You just don't want to start of too quickly. Execerise is good during pregnancy.
