Any running mums here?

I just did my first preggo run and it felt so weird! I felt really guilty jiggling the baby around even though I know it’s safe 😱 seems to trigger the round ligament pain too! Anyone else experience this? I used to run 3 times a week but haven’t been able to bring myself too since getting pregnant. I did have to laugh at myself going down the street belly first… x

It is a very strange sensation, I agree. I feel some tightness in my belly when I run but I think it’s more your muscles trying to keep things in place ☺️ I try to think that being in shape will be good for the baby and the labour so that works as a good distraction away from the baby jiggling around in there

I've been lucky enough to keep running throughout pregnancy so far and i agree that it's all starting to feel a bit strange the bigger baby is getting! I often see tiktoks of women running when they're extremely pregnant and use that for motivation/confirmation that everything is fine 😂

I stopped running shortly after I found out I was pregnant as it hurt my boobs and I felt so sick! Haven’t ran since but I’d be too scared of tripping over, but I do really miss it sometimes, walking isn’t the same :(

the same happened to me but I just took it really slow and gentle and really glad I did it! Helped me feel more like myself! Starting back with walk/runs x

Used to run regularly and ran a half marathon at 7 weeks but stopped afterwards due to fatigue. Ran for the first time this Monday at 23 weeks, the jiggle did feel weird at first but was fine after and I found that it really relieved my back pain, however after just 1km the round ligament or maybe pelvic girdle pain was getting pretty intense, so I slowed to a walk. Loved the feeling of running again though and was so happy for my back 😄 I’m planning to run twice a week just 1-2km now until it doesn’t feel good anymore, meanwhile doing a prenatal Pilates program which also has some at home cardio bits.

I recently bought a belly support band and what a difference running. Felt like i wasnt getting uncomfortable with my bladder and not experiencing same strains etc. I got mine from amazon!

Anyone else due 1st May?

I’m wondering whether I’ll have an April or May baby, thought she’d be late originally because she’s my first but I’ve had this weird feeling recently she’ll be early… if you’re in the same position what do you think?

Anxiety with the bump.

I’m 36 weeks pregnant and I’ve suddenly developed a massive anxiety around anyone standing behind me. My husband is annoying me so much because even though I’ve told him how it makes me feel, he’s continued doing stuff in our kitchen (that is tiny anyway) and sliding past me to grab things. I know the baby is safe even if I were to bump the bump a little but even the thought of it is still making extremely anxious. How do I cope with this feeling and is anyone else going through the same sort of thing?

Breathless and feeling like I need to be sitting constantly!

Has anyone else been feeling this way as they're getting closer to their due date?

I attempted to change our bedding this evening and had to call my husband for back up as I literally felt like my lungs were going to explode just trying to reach over to put the sheet on.

I'm huffing and puffing just getting my toddler into his pjs, and I was sat down! Like what is going on 😮‍💨🥲

Everything has been check ie bloods etc so I think it's just general pregnancy as I'm now 38 weeks. My bump feels like it weighs about 100lbs 😭
