What happens when we run after conceiving?

Question

I went for my usual jog before realising i might be pregnant and now thoda paranoid. Does running in the very early days cause any harm? Cant stop overthinking it.

With my PCOS history, I was very protective of my pregnancy early on. Running can sometimes put extra stress on your body, so I chose gentle walking instead. Please ask your doctor what is safe for you.

I totally understand wanting to stay active, but please be very gentle with yourself now. Your body is doing something so miraculous, so rest as much as you can and stick to light strolls.

I literally just had my baby and during my early months, I avoided running completely. My doctor said high-impact activities are risky in the first trimester. Brisk walking is much safer!

Early pregnancy is all about letting the baby settle. Strenuous running might not be the best idea right now. I kept active with light walks, which kept me fit and helped me recover quickly later on.

Humare yahan toh kehte hain ki shuruat me bhaag-daud nahi karni chahiye. Araam se chalo aur apna dhyaan rakho, heavy exercise mat karo abhi.

Sneha Deshpande · Answer

I used to jog daily, but after conceiving, I switched to brisk walking just to be safe. It felt much more comfortable and less stressful for my body.

Actually, running is generally okay if your body is already used to it, but doctors advise against starting a new running routine now. It increases your core body temperature which can be risky. Always check with your gynac first.
