Guest guest Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 Thank you to those who responded to my question about getting pregnant the first month after getting off birth control. I have another question..... Can we exercise during pregnancy? I currently run about 2-3 miles 3-4 times a week and also do free weights and core work (stomach and back exercises) at the gym 2-3 times a week. One of my friends who didn't have WLS (and is 3 years younger than I) was told to stop running almost immediately. I'm wondering, since I'm almost 38, if I even suspect I'm pregnant, should I stop running immediately and just walk? Or, would it be ok to run for the first few months? Will I need to stop using the free weights (I only do 5 pounds on my arms and such) and doing my core? What kind of exercises are best while we exercise? I would really rather not stop exercising since I know that it is important to be fit, but I also don't want to risk a miscarriage..... Thank you!
