running while prego??

edited February 2011 in Pregnant
I'm only 5 weeks and 5 days pregnant and I was told its ok to play basketball. So I went to the gym earlier and played a game and after running I was getting cramps and I'm kinda getting them now. Is that normal? I had an MC back in June. So I keep worrying about everything.. :/

  • You can exercise/play games.. baby will let you know when its time to cut back or it gets uncomfortable.. the cramps are probably from dehydration.. make sure you drink as much as possible before, a bit during, & after.. you'll be good to go (: I do work out videos, dance, play diff sports, & yoga all the time (:
  • I run 2.5-3 miles five days a week.. I get cramps too when I run. I was thinking they are gas pains but idk. I love running and don't want to have to stop. I am 15 weeks preggo.
  • Take it easy I am a runner as well and I three days ago I started spotting so now I stop. Just be careful because you had a previous MC so take it easy and just wait till after the first trimester is over. My doctor put me on restrictions because I had signs of MC. So if the cramps is accompanied with heavy bleeding? Then go to the ER. Good luck!
  • Thanks! I actually have been reallly thirsty lately! Maybe i just need more water. One more question sometimes when I'm laying down like my left pelvic hurts almost like burning or something. Not bad but annoying. I know cysts on your ovary can happen. Idk has anyone else had one? I don't have my first appointment till 17th so far away!
  • I have that.. almost feels like a pulled muscle doesn't it? & my doc says its from your body growing & all the muscles & what not are adjusting.. very annoying though. Icy hot works for it & warm baths (: but trust me drinking loads of water helps a lot too, but means more trips to the bathroom.. well worth it though (:
