Hello

[usamarsha]

Hi everyone! I just found out on Monday that I am pregnant again. My period wasn't even due until today, but I was having a lot of symptoms so I tested early. I am a little nervous about early miscarriage (though I have no history of it), but at 37 I know there is a higher risk. I was wondering if I should cut back on my exercise now to help reduce the risk of miscarriage, or does it make a difference. I did ease up this week because of my nervousness. I really want to stay healthy, continue exercising and avoid the 54lb weight gain that I had with the last two.

I was wondering if anyone had some thoughts about this.

Thanks!

Congratulations on your pregnancy!!!!! You must be so excited!!!

As far as I know the exercise does not play a role in having a miscarriage, but if it makes you feel better you can cut back on your workouts in the first trimester, which you might do anyway due to tiredness and nausea.
Just listen to your body and do what feels comfortable and you will be just fine.

Congrats again
Kristine

i agree, fatigue and queasiness forced me to cut back on the intensity of my workouts. now that i'm at 3 months my energy has returned and i'm running and weightlifting again
