With my first, I didn't even make it through the teens. But I found that running, oddly was the ONLY thing that helped my nausea in the first tri. Now that I can't run I've been taking long walks (which still put tremendous pressure on my bladder!0 and swimming and lifting weights a little, but since running is the only form of exercise I don't hate, it's difficult to motivate myself to do anything but sit here.Mariehttp://cheaperthantherapy.menoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336273598199876862.post-66796911897222061872014-05-02T13:55:22.261-04:002014-05-02T13:55:22.261-04:00So I read this last night and then had a crazy dre...So I read this last night and then had a crazy dream where I was pregnant (I am definitely not in real life).

So sounds like everything is normal here. That's good news. I have the bladder of a small poodle myself. I have to not drink anything hours before bed to not get up at night. <br /><br />I love running and crossfit. I loathe yoga.

My calves have been burning on most of my runs lately but I ran a 10k race on Sunday without any issues. I felt like I had to pee on and off during the entire race but I just ignored it and was surprised when I didn't feel like I needed to go immediately at the finish. <br />Can I ask what HR your doctor recommended you not exceed? My doctor didn't give me any guidelines for that but I'm curious.

Baby moves up a bit, but then you're so big, other things are out of whack. Fun times. I'm done running this time because I am legit worried about the damage I've done to my pelvic floor and don't want to pee myself every time I laugh for the sake of a 36 minute 5k. p.s just go pay for an ultrasound and let us know what you're having!!sarah d vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02570628025006364914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336273598199876862.post-45587353115555591572014-05-01T20:41:20.254-04:002014-05-01T20:41:20.254-04:00I got out of breath right away too, before I knew ...I got out of breath right away too, before I knew I was pregnant!

That's why some women experience PRs shortly after giving birth. It's like nature's blood doping. <br /><br />The key to pregnant running (this is golden advice) is to treat each day like a stand alone. Don't worry about trends or "Oh, I was faster yesterday" or even "I'm faster today!" and also don't give up because you have a few shitty days. <br /><br />The bathroom thing? Just get a Poise pad and let 'er rip as you go. I'm telling you, that's the only way. Give up on your dignity now, it's good practice.
