Workout Question

nirern626

For those of you still exercising, do you have BH during workouts? I was pretty active through the first tri and admittedly slowed down during the winter. We got so much snow it was hard to get out, and I wasn't faithful with videos at all. In the last few weeks as the weather has improved, I have started getting back out, but have been getting really strong BH that actually make me stop because it's hard to take a breath my belly is so tight. I'm just walking at a moderate pace. I try to make sure I'm well hydrated prior to beginning and don't go too far. As soon as I get home and sit down the BH are gone within maybe 5 min. I'm not a worrier and because they stop when I stop being active I didn't see a need to call the dr. I see her next Monday anyway. I was just curious about others experiences. Any tips? TIA! And I apologize if this is a huge paragraph, my iPhone sometimes does that.

I Jazzercise 3-4 days a weeks and transitioned to low impact about 2 months ago I haven't noticed and BH but I have had like a runners cramp in my side I asked the Doc he said that it was prob a form of BH but since he was a man he didn't know but said not to worry about it.  so I just keep working out!  not sure if this helps.

I swim laps 4 or 5 days a week, and during my swim is when I have the most BH. I think during physical exertion is a pretty common time to get them.

yeah, all it takes for me to start getting them is simple walking

so i can't imagine doing anything else strenuous. i try drinking plenty of water beforehand etc, but it seems unavoidable.

not to mention that my joints are becoming super inflamed. i can't walk everyday or else my knees will feel like they're going to explode by the end of the day...

I also Jazzercise.  I actually teach.  I'm officially on Jazz maternity leave starting May 1.  I am doing more and more low impact since about 2 weeks ago.

My tip: where a support belt and stay super hydrated.

If I don't do these things, I can't make it through class.

I haven't had BH when doing yoga or cardio. Yesterday though I was doing some stretching and squats and I noticed I was constantly getting BHs.

I get them from walking for more than a few minutes at a time, and also after my yoga class they are pretty intense.

Thanks ladies! At least I'm not alone lol. I was thinking of getting a support belt, think I'll give it a shot.

OMG! I just started getting side stitches last week. They feel like water cramps. I've been active throughout my preg and frustrated that I can't even walk without getting a cramp. I'm not sure if they're bh, but I do slow down and just listen to my body.

This morning all I could do was take my dog for a 3 mile walk. Mind you, I usually run 3-4 miles a day, not walk! during the walk I had to stop a few times too. I figure at least I was able to work out for the first 30 weeks and if I have to take it down a few or more notches, that's totally fine

I'm glad others are having this problem too. I thought I was going crazy.

Yep, I get them when I walk at a decent pace for a while (which is my primary exercise right now). I assume it's normal.
