Q: Early Pregnancy and Working Out?

I am 6 weeks today and I really want to start working out again. Back in January I started working out. I went for 147 to 126 by mid April. In April I took a fabulous trip to the Virgin Islands and ever since I've been back I have fell off track. I found out I was pregnant 4th of July weekend (Exciting!!). This will be baby number 4 for me and I want to be in shape this pregnancy, unlike the last 3 where I scarfed down anything in sight. I don't see my doctor until Mid August. I know they say if it's a part of your normal routine then to stick with it but I have been off of routine for a month and a half. Has anyone been here before? My biggest fear is I'm going to make myself miscarry. Any words of wisdom will help ladies! I am going to run a mile or 2 on lunch today so I guess we'll see how it goes!!

If your body is used to working out, then you should be fine. If you are worried about it, do a low impact exercise, like yoga.

I was a zumba instructor pre preg and I kept it up until 28 weeks. Then, I walked and did yoga until now at nearly 40 weeks. As long as you are hydrated and keep your heart rate in check, you should be fine. Any questions, ask your dr. They don't advise starting up a new, rigorous routine but if you were active before, there should be no harm in being active now.
