Everything I've read and all of my doctors have said that exercise absolutely cannot cause a miscarriage and that exercising while pregnant is a good idea. One of my doctors put it best when she said "Nothing you can do can end a HEALTHY pregnancy, and nothing you can do can save an unhealthy one." Then she added that I shouldn't start using narcotics or anything, but I promised her I'd wait with that until after the baby was born.
I worked out at the gym 3-4 times a week at the beginning of this pregnancy (I admit I slowed way down later...). The important thing with exercising while pregnant is to make sure you keep yourself from getting dehydrated and overheated. But at a "normal human being" level of exercise, that just means making sure you drink some water.
Zachary's Mom, That's ok. I hope you get a goos scan on monday *fingers crossed*
Tildy & Berry, you hve both just inspired me to start making more of an effort in the exercise department. You're right. It is important to have a healthy body!
Well. AF reared her ugly head this morning. The cold and thrush must have gotten the better of me. I'm a bit cut (who am I kidding, I'm devistated and plan on spending the rest of the day in bed!) but there is always next month isn't there?
I need to *****! I have a friend (well Ex friend as we've had a bit of a falling out...) who has a 2yo. We went to a birthday party last night to which they also were invited and once they arived they just left their bub to run wild. Honestly I don't think they would have even known where she was for a good portion of the night, she could have been anywhere! At one stage she was trying to rip off some ornaments that were hanging on the wall, and stood there for about 5 minutes open and slamming the sliding door. And I had to tell her off! My huge pet hate is having to watch over someone elses child because the parents are to lazy to do so, not to mention, she could have dragged that ornament down and smashed it all over her or just wandered out of the garage as people were sort of coming and going and the roller door was always being opened. Argh!
Hope everyone enjoys their weekend. I'm going back to bed to sulk xx
Thanks for that advise Tildy. I had thought that was the case as well, that exercising was fine as long as you are hydrated and don't let your body temp rise above 38 degrees for an extended period of time, but when I was first pg with Jasmine my GP said nothing harder than a walk 'just in case' so it has made me very nervous.
Teagz, hun I am so sorry that AF arrived, damn her You are right there is definetly next month and it will happen for you. I know how disappointing it is when you think your pg then AF arrives, that happened to me last month. DH & I were so upset and I vowed never to 'assume' symptoms again, although I know it will be so hard not to. Its just so hurtful when you almost build yourself up to be majorly let down. It will happen for you, know that.
teagz i'm so sorry that af has arrived. We will all have our fingercrossed for you next month take care and just have a you day. p.s chocolate always helps me feel better when af is around.
How hot is it again in Melbourne!!!!! I can't stand this heat!! I went to bed really early yesterday at about 6 o'clock as AF arrived and I was having cramps. I woke up at 9 and I was so hot!!! Hot flushes maybe ???.... I then woke up at 11.30 and had to put the air con on as I just couldn't get back to sleep, I was that hot. What is going on???!!!
First of all, Teagz I'm so sorry hunni, wish AF stayed away!!!! There is a always next time sweetie, and don't stop doing all that you're doing because you're doing all the right things to get you the bub you so desperately want and deserve. I'll be keeoing my fingers and toes crossed for you next cycle, as I'm sure you'll be doing the same for me when it's my turn! We're in this together, and together we will do it. Please remember that hun xxx
Dee, good luck with your IVF cycle, I'll be keeping my fingers and toes tightly crossed for you on the 24th for your transfer. Gosh, how exciting! I wish that was me, I can't wait for my go soon. I'll be praying for a BFP for you hun!!!!
As you your DH's family, that is very disappinting that they are not supportive. At least your DH is, and he sounds just lovely. He is the most important one, and you guys are each other's anchors, so that's most important thing. He must feel awful that his own family can't be more supportive... When I did IVF last May I only told my parents and my closest girlfriends, and they were very supportive. Couldn't ask for better firiends.
Jo, hooray for good results on your GD test !!!! Very happy for you hun. You're almost 29 weeks!! Wow!!!!!! Where has the time gone??? You are doing so well, I'm ver proud of you. Bring on the chockies !!!! As for nachos, put a heap of corn chips on a plate, put the cheese on, slap the chicken on and the other bits, like salsa, mushies etc.....dunno, I saw it once on TV and all I can remember the chef was just slapping everyhing on...
Megan, yay for the fertile period!! You'll be a busy little vegimite, he he he. I hope this cycle is yours hun, I will be praying for your BFP
Where did you go O/S ???
Theresa, I'm so excited your your very first scan of your little lamb (how cute is that..)Please let us know how it all goes, I'm so excited for you hun! I'm healing OK, feeling much better slowly. I was getting a bit anxious to see what will happen with AF after the op, but all is vell just the normal cramping, flow not too heavy whcih is great.
Tildy, look at your ticker go! just a few more weeks for you miss, can't wait!!! You must be getting excited now...
Diana, one more sleep until the first jab! Yey!!!! Very excited for you hun, lets grow these eggies soon!!!! Please, please God let the first cycle be successful and an embie that sticks!!!!! Bring it on!!!! Looks like the three of us (you, me and Dee) will be IVF ladies in this thread
Cindee, how is everything going hun?? I've been thinking of you and praying all goes well for you and bub
Laney, I hope you have found some reassurance after your last scan. I'm always thinking of you and hoping and praying all is well with your little bub xxx
Hello to Sue, Helen, Lan, Katie, Jo76 & Paula. I hope all you lovely ladies are doing fine and I'm sending you all big hugs
I'm now going for a nap uder the air con....will be back when this heat passes....hot, hot, hot.
Teagz, oh bugger about AF. I hate that horrible sinking feeling you get when you see it. Don't be a wuss like me and totally lose the plot. Try to think of it as more time to prepare your body for your full term baby. Are you on folic acid etc?
Megan, the only thing I've heard about exercising while pregnant is not to get breathless or overheated. I also have a pregnancy exercise DVD in which they mention not twisting and stretching too much. I think a brisk walk would be great for your mind and body - or a swim.
Theresa, can't wait to hear about your scan tomorrow. I remember Sue saying that she could see quite a bit of the bub even at 8wks!
Speaking of Sue, hello! How are you going? I like your ticker, I think I'll get one of those when I finally get my BFP. Hard to believe that you're due in 13wks!
Hope everyone's keeping cool in this heat.
Diana, hoping those injections aren't too bad and hoping that Feb really is our month!
I have itchy eyeballs, can't tell if it's hayfever, conjunctivitis or just this heat. Don't like it at any rate. HIsssss!
