I wish it was the pitter patter of me in my running shoes but I'm still injured
It turns out there's a baby on the way!
Now I've not run for nearly two weeks and am unsure as to when I can start again....now this wonderful news has got me worried that I may not be able to return to running at all until after he/she graces us with his/her presence!?
Id only managed to get to W4R3 before I had to stop due to injury, it was long enough for me to get the bug though! I've read that you can continue running during pregnancy if you're already a runner...I'm not sure 4 weeks makes me a runner...plus I don't know how much longer I'll have to wait until I can run again anyway.....any advice on this would be lovely...

I can't help I'm afraid, except that I know the woman who was pregnant in the film Sex in then City kept running!! I really think you need to ask the Doctor. And congratulations
there was an article in Runners World a couple of months ago about someone who ran the Marathon des Sables (a desert ultra) whilst pregnant so its obviously not a complete no no but its down to your own circumstances i guess? I am with TJ prob best check it out with the doc but once they are out and about loads still run, looks like a great fancy kit buying retail opportunity =D. Loads of prams designed for this! I see them down at the local ParkRun from time to time - very impressive.
CONGRATULATIONS! This is the second baby announcement since I joined the community! Wishing you the very best...hmmm...I wonder how small they make infant trainers? Gayle
Wow! Congratulations! That's very exciting news for you! I have no advice unfortunately, just wanted to say congrats, but would just echo what others say and see what the doc says
That's lovely news, becksbinks! Congratulations! Take care whatever you decide about the running! If you are going to keep going why don't you start back at, say, week 2 and build up slowly again taking extra rest days if you need them. Best wishes!
Congratulations, becks!! What wonderful news you have had!! No worries about the running...give the new one a year or two and you will have all of the running you want chasing them!!
Congrats. Will your running dictate your buggy choice? If you do carry on running, have a google for "bump supports" ...Running was still a 'four-letter word' when I was pregnant but I did do quite a lot of swimming ... gentler on your joints.
My congratulations are joining everyone else's here I'm with KANdoit, when I was expecting I'd not heard of running since I was at school and didn't have a choice, mind you, in those days I didn't have a car so did lots and lots of walking
Congratulations and don't worry - whether or not you can/choose to/want to run while you're expecting, there'll be loads of time afterwards for you to take it up again and a baby is WAY better than completing W5 or whatever! Enjoy!
