I guess we don't do much exercising, since no one has posted to you. Laughing
at my gym they have exercise classes for pregnant women. Also, you could do yoga. Walking is good.

I asked my doctor the same thing.

He said "did you regulary exersize( god my spellings got bad) before you were pregnant?

Me "err no, I just thougt it might be healthy for me and the baby"

doctor " then pregnancy may not be the best time too start"

he also said that any exersice u do will be ok, as long as its not over done. And too stop as soon as you start feeling uncomfatable, and drink plenty of water, and take lots of breaks.

My doc said it is fine to have low to moderate exercise. No situps, pushups, weights over 10 lbs, or inverted positions! Hope that helps!

Thanks for the reply. I do jogging before the pregnancy. Every one suggest me walking is the best exercise.

But can I walk on my jogger and for how long?

You can do whatever you were doing before pregnancy. Your body will tell you if your over doing it. Probably by the time your 7 or 8 months pregnant your body will say it's time to just walk.

Jogging may not be comfortable after a few months.But, as was posted before,if you were active before ,it should be okay.Moderation is the key,don't over do it.Good luck.Patty
