Doesn't anybody know anything about this?

I wish I could help...But I don't know anything about it. Sorry!

Well I think i'm perfect to help with this one. Last october I was 6 weeks pregnant and didnt know until 4 days before I miscarried. I was at the gym doing strenuous workouts 5 days a week and 3 days out of those 5 I was doing turbo kickboxing classes. The doctor says that there is a good chance that my workouts are the reason I miscarried.

Needless to say i've stopped those workouts and am only at the gym 3 days per week doing walking or swimming and a very very light weight training program.

Most excersizing is actually encouraged during pregnancy. I have only heard of negative effects associated with very heavy, very strenous workouts or manual labor. You can ask your doctor specifically what they would suggest but most doctors will tell you, and encourage you, to continue excersizing during the pregnancy only doing lighter excersizes the farther you are along.

My sister, the fool, was so afraid that she was going to lose her body that she worked out everyday of her pregnancy. In fact, she went into labor while on her daily walk around the block.

Hey thanks for the info, its just one of those things that you hear different responses too you know. And ladylegacy i'm sorry for your pervious loss, I hope all goes well this time around. I know that walking and swimming are okay during pregnancy (my friend did both durning her pregnancy and the doc actually encouraged her) but tae bo is different from walking and swimming and not as strenuous as turbo kick boxing (i don't think anyway) but its still a work out, so I was just wondering if it might be too much of a work out if pregnant. Thanks for the replies. :)

Ive heard that strinuis excersizes are bad durring pregnancy but light ones like aerobics, a simple walk, or water aerobics are good for the baby!
