This time I thought for sure we were out and ran 21 miles last week, I don't think you are going to hurt your chances by working out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exercising-during-the-tww#post-512186 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 23:14:02 +0000 ineebee 512186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks ladies for your thoughts! Just got back from the gym and I feel great! :) And @blackbird, I'm gonna find out more about how it might boost your chances!! That sounds good to me! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exercising-during-the-tww#post-511960 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:47:50 +0000 Vegmama 511960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! Our midwife &amp; OB told us it's perfectly fine to keep up our normal workouts (my hubby &amp; I hike and do workouts each day). A close friend of mine is still doing cross-fit at 13 weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exercising-during-the-tww#post-511773 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:13:27 +0000 prettylizy 511773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doc said it was safe to exercise as long as I felt physcially comfortable/able throuh the entire pregnancy as long as it was something I was already doing, and not starting anyting new. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exercising-during-the-tww#post-511757 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:10:00 +0000 Tidybee 511757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I TTCed for a year and would always cut back on exercise during the TWW. However, the month I was actually pregnant, I was so convinced that I wasn't, and I was hitting the gym every morning because the Clomid had made me bloat so much and nothing was fitting right. My perfectly healthy DD is 11 weeks old :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exercising-during-the-tww#post-511556 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 20:35:55 +0000 fussygal 511556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been wondering about this, too! I'm always afraid I'll "shake" something loose, haha. But I like what @blackbird said about it boosting your chances! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exercising-during-the-tww#post-511534 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 20:33:08 +0000 Foodnerd81 511534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup agree with everyone-- totally fine and definitely good. The only thing I would hesitate about would be hot yoga, or exercising in extremely hot weather, for that matter, and even that you probably could do in the TWW. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exercising-during-the-tww#post-511466 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 20:20:50 +0000 mlm2934 511466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I kept my workouts the same! Moderate effort runs 4-7mi 4x week. It's only concerned if you are exercising enough to mess up your cycles </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exercising-during-the-tww#post-511299 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 19:54:55 +0000 blackbird 511299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Actually, intense exercise has been shown to IMPROVE your chances :) It's a small bump, but every little bit counts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exercising-during-the-tww#post-511277 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 19:49:49 +0000 Smurfette 511277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally safe and a good distraction. Even once you get your BFP, you can keep doing whatever exercises you were doing before you got pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exercising-during-the-tww#post-511208 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 19:36:00 +0000 Bao 511208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ineebee: I think it is ok to work out in the TWW, that's what my OB told me anyway...love your avatar, so cute :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exercising-during-the-tww#post-511199 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 19:32:33 +0000 ineebee 511199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm no Olympian, but I've been working out 3x/week, for about an hour each time (weights and cardio), and I work up quite a sweat. I know they say it's good to be fit and healthy before pregnancy, but I'm wondering what you all have heard/experienced about exercising during the TWW?</p> <p>I find myself going easy (or maybe it's just an excuse to be lazy?) :) but I'm wondering if I'm just overthinking it, which I tend to do. Any thoughts? </p>
