Hello, I am 22 weeks pg and until today have been managing to get to the gym 3 times a week for circuit & combat classes. I have been modifying the exercises to suit myself and still managing to get a good sweat up and have fun.

But today...after running laps around the basketball court and squats, my uterus went into huge contraction like spasm and stayed like that for ages ~ about an hour. It was quite a low down sharp pain and it hurt!

I finished class early and came home & put DD to bed and laid down for ages, getting more and more worried, uterus still hard, but lessening and baby not moving. After about an hour and a phone call to the ob and organising my friend to have DD for a couple of hours, baby decided to give me a few little kicks so panic is off, thank goodness!

But I think this is the end of me still trying to keep up the classes. I just can't do it anymore. I'm going to have to find my own thing to do now. It's such a shame because I love all the girls in the class and its a social outlet for me as much as workout.

So...what do I do now? I'm so not a yoga or pilates girl, I love cardio and find them too slow even though they are great workouts and fantastic for strength training. Maybe I just have to embrace the slower speed and relax a bit.....

Thanks for listening girls, really this is part vent as much as advice seeking.
