Would you do this?

I am considering signing up for a prenatal yoga class. The class starts March 24 and that's super early. I won't even be 7 weeks yet. However, I have been planning to start taking yoga again for a while and just haven't gotten around to it and I don't want to take regular yoga now.

So, would you wait or take the plunge?  I guess I am really still afraid to do too much pregnancy related that requires a commitment since I don't know what will happen.

I would as long as you feel comfortable!  I want to start taking a prenatal yoga class too, but I have to wait.  The yoga studio near me requires you to be in the 2nd trimester before taking the class.  Not sure why!

It is possible they require that and this is a moot point. I haven't even called and there isn't any information on their website other than the date, time and who to call to register.

I'd call to make sure, but if you can start now I would!  It's never too early IMO.  My Dr. keeps emphasizing the importance of exercising reguarly and all the benefits it will provide later in pregnancy and delivery.

I decided to wait until the 2nd tri to look for a place. I personally just wanted to get through this m/s and all that stuff. I would call and check to see if it's an option to join at 7 weeks.

all 3 yoga places I called required you to be on 2nd tri. That being said, I was taking dancing classes (tap and jazz) during my entire first tri, with no problems

I've looked into prenatal yoga too but none of the studios or even hospitals that offer it allow it before 12 weeks and they require your doctor to sign a permission slip! But my pregnant friend and I have decided to take prenatal water aerobics instead!

Maybe I won't bother then.  I'm good on the exercise. I've just missed the yoga.

If you find a good yoga class (one with a knowledgeable instructor) then they should be able to give you modifications druing the regular yoga class.  If you take it easy and listen to your body, I think you could do regular beginning yoga with no problem.  After 2nd tri, I imagine it all changes because they don't want you on your back.
