Yes you can.....I have been doing yoga from ever since I found out that I was pregnant....It helps you relax, strech out the mucsles that you need for child birth, and I feel so much better when I do it. All I did was buy a prenatal tape and it 100% safe :d

Yoga Good For More Than Exercise

My Dr. Informed me that if you exercise regularly before pregnancy than you are 100% safe to continue. Yoga is one of the best exercises you can do during pregnancy. Not only does it keep you in shape, it also lengthens and strengthens muscles you will need for child birth. The breathing exercises will also help you out with the lamaze part of child birth. Pay close attention to the yoga breath exercises. The cleansing breath or (relaxation breath) helped me out emensly when I delivered my daughter....100% natural- no drugs needed!

Girls, thanks for your info. I'm not sure if i'm preg yet. My period is due 16/17 aug. Since I did ivf this month, I think i'll just wait to see the result b4 I do something which cant be fixed. And i'll certainly continue my yoga class soon.

Thanks again.
