Thanks! Sorry last one. Is biking ok?
Boating & Running in Early Pregnancy
July 18, 2008
This may be a dumb question, but is it safe to go boating in early pregnancy? It can be quite bouncy at times. Also, I'm a runner though I was afraid to run during my 2ww. Is it safe to run in early pregnancy? I know Dr. Q has said that one shouldn't raise their heart rate above 140 but that seems low. Thanks
Hey BP! Iwas the same way...always very active and running. I ran for a little bit but then got worried. My doc said it was absolutely fine and really good for the pregnancy. So I just switched to walking lots. It helped keep my weight in check and make for a pretty easy labor and recovery. Biking though may not be great just b/c thre is more risk for an accident. BUt do whatever your doc and you are comfortable with. But exercise is great for you and your little one!!! Hugs and congrats asgain!
