Does Anyone know if you can or should run while you are pregnant?

Question

I really enjoy running but I am not sure if you are supposed torun while you are pregnant. I just found out and I am holding off till I go to the doctor..but does anyone already know?

Answer 1

As usual, Lester has it right.   I've run with pregnant women, and have read lots about its benefits at delivery time.  My wife was also encouraged to run moderately during pregnancy.  But no one can know about individual circumstances that may override any 'Norm", except your ob/gyn after a complete checkup.

Good Luck

Answer 2

I have many friends who ran into the 3rd trimester of their pregnancy.

Regardless of what others have done you should talk to your doctor before running.
