hope no one minds me bringing back on old thread, but thought it was easier than starting another new one!

we're only at the start of the ttc journey but i'm trying to think ahead (and positively!). at the moment i'm about 20-25kg overweight but i have a reasonable level of fitness. as part of my exercise regime i go to see a PT once or twice a week. i do cardio & weights when i'm there. as i have reasonable strong abs (you just can't see them ) i do sit ups with a 3kg weight between my feet & usually holding a 10kg weight above my head.

if i was to become pregnant i figure this is going to be a big no-no....but what about in the 2 weeks or so before i test? would it be doing damage to be doing extreme sit ups (well, i think they are!) or lifting weights in this time? i know this could all take a while and so i don't really want to be telling the trainer now about something that might not happen for months & months.

oh yeah - i also overheat pretty quickly! i'm the sort of person with the really pale skin that goes bright red when exercising!

has anyone else been in a similar position?
