As I've mentioned before, I'm exercising on a completely different level than my previous pregnancy. Through the first trimester nausea running always helped subside the queasiness. I never understood why but just went with it. Now that I'm almost upon my 18th week, I am just thrilled that I'm still able to continue running and exercising as I have been. Well, with a slower pace and lifting lighter weights but I feel good about the way my clothes fit (no maternity shopping yet). Mentally and physically I feel very strong.
While I was researching running during pregnancy I came across this blog. I mean, WOW. She was running 13 miles per DAY up until her 7th month of pregnancy. Not a good idea for me or anyone of a normal fitness level. She gained a measly 15 pounds during her pregnancy and exercised 2 hours a day. Shortly after delivering her baby (which, as far as they know, is completely healthy) she ran her first ultra. Okay, so I get it, she's on a different level than most but running that much is just nuts even not pregnant. And all that coming from a gal who loves to run. I see hip replacements in her future. Probably before she's 50.
