What's your best advice for running comfortably during pregnancy?
I'm 20 weeks now and the last week or so it's been getting uncomfortable (before that it just felt like lots of pressure on my bladder). It mostly feels uncomfortable below my bump (which isn't huge). Maybe intestines or something, but I don't have to use the bathroom. No sharp shooting pains or anything that makes me feel I should stop immediately.
I was using a medela belt. Sometimes it felt too tight or maybe too high. I've tried loosening and lowering it but it's not a lot better. I ordered a fit splint belt that just came in the mail today. I'm hoping that will help.

best of luck!
Sorry I don't have more advice!
Yesterday was the first time my belly got tight, kind of a tight band around my lower pelvis. That was at the end of 3 miles, so I just stopped and walked. This is my first pregnancy, so I don't know what Braxton Hicks feel like.
Usually it just feels like intestines are tight or bloated maybe, but not that I actually need to go to the bathroom.
I'm thinking I need more support, which I'm going to test out today. But I'm also not sure if I should be adjusting my form for the growing belly.
Thankfully I don't have issues with it bothering me after the run like she mentioned.
