Hi everyone!
As some of you know, I'm twelve weeks pregnant and was very happy to learn that I could keep excercising until almost delivery time. unfortunately, this weekend, while I was doing a video (a Cethe one) a little bit of blood came out of me (NOOOO!!!). I inmediately went into panic mode, until i talked to the doctor on call whoo told me that it doesn;t mean misscarriage (necessarily) but I should take it easy and go for a check up today.
I did just that, and I'm hopping everythiing is OK. In fact, I feel better since no more bleeding has ocurred and people around me tell me a little spotting is sometimes normal....
Anyway, my questioin now is would you excersice again???? if so, what exercises would you recommend????
I'm desperate for some experienced advise (this is my first pregnancy)
Thanks

luli, my heart goes out to you. i am so glad you are feeling better and hope that your dr visit today shows good things. that said, i do not know what i would do if i was in your position. definately sounds scary. perhaps see what your dr recommends? did you feel bad when you were exercising?

sorry i have no advice. please keep us posted.
 
Luli, I hoping for the best. Keep us posted on the outcome from your doctors appt. I know there are a lot of women who do bleed through pregnancy and everything is fine. The best person to ask your excercise questions would be to your OB doc. Goodluck

Hi!
Thanks for answering my post so soon! It was a long, long weekend for me... it's nice to know you guys are out there.
I finally saw my doctor today. The baby is fine. They did an ultrasound and not only did I get to hear the heart beat again but this time I even saw little hands, feet, fingers... yey!!! and lots of cool things.... I'm so excited.
As for the exercise I guess my doctor is very liberal. She still says I can do it, but to be honest with you I think I'll take it a little bit easier for a while. It was just too scary for me this time!
Well, thanks again for all the support... please keep me updated on your progress.

Oh Luli! I am so happy to hear that. I am one that bleeds in my pregnancies. With my first I had 2 spouts of bleeding and with my second I had it around week 11. Both pregnancies were just fine. I am so happy that all was fine. I did the same as you though. When I started bleeding, I cut way back on my exercise, just in case. My doc told me it was fine, but I did it more for my own peace of mind.
