So I’m having a little frustration with my OB about fitness. So I’ve been coming to bootcamp for over a year now and I do lift fairly heavy. My doc wants me to limit my weights to 25 lbs but I feel like I can/want to lift more than that. There are others way more pregnant than me who still lift heavy and seem fine. What are your docs saying?
@shellbellbenko Did they give you a reason why? I was told this time- and the previous two- to just keep doing what I'm doing as long as it feels ok.
No she just asked what I’ve been doing and what weights I’m using and I said between 30-70 lbs depending on the exercise and she just said now your max is 25 lbs. I can do that it’s just annoying because I worked hard to get to the level I am at and it feels like a step backward.
I am back! Did a light workout today and didn’t die. Going to try and stay strong this time and see if getting in shape is easier. Last time I just did light cardio.
has anyone had spotting after working out? My midwife said it’s fine and take it easy and drink lots of water. How long did the spotting last after said workout?
@amyface813 I had a little brown spotting after my first workout once off bedrest from a SCH. TMI: I think I just jarred loose whatever was meant to eventually come out anyway. I didn’t even call my OB. It stopped after a few hours and was very light. I spotted the entire first trimester of my last pregnancy. It doesn’t scare me as bad this time around (as long as it doesn’t come with cramps, bright red, a lot of it, etc)
what color spotting and how much did you have? You may have just irritated your cervix.
@cmd723-z it’s a small amount of brown blood. It’s not enough to feel wet or saturate anything. It’s been happening since sometime last night. The run was at 7 so after that. I am counting the seconds to my appointment tomorrow.
@amyface813 I am not a doctor. But that sounds a lot like what happened to me. You probably just had some old blood that was... um... “released” when you were moving around lol. It happened to me on Monday but stopped by Tuesday and hasn’t happened again. (And I’ve worked out every day since). I wouldn’t worry about it.
