    Tips On Running During Pregnancy

    Running is a great workout for the heart and the entire body and running during pregnancy is an effective way of preparing you for your labor and delivery.

    Running during pregnancy is safe but it depends on every expectant woman's condition. If you have been regularly running even before getting pregnant then it is okay to go on with your routine at a lower intensity. Nevertheless, it is important that you consult your doctor first.

    During the first trimester, the major organs of the baby start forming and exerting too much or overheating can be a real issue. If you strain yourself or if your body temperature soars, it can cause serious health problems to you and of course the baby. You should not put your health and the baby's health at risk. Running during pregnancy can be very tough on your knees because the joints are loosened. This makes you more prone to injuries and accidents. That is why you need to make sure you are fit to start or continue running during pregnancy.

    First trimester

    It is important that you wear running shoes that can support your ankles and feet arches. However, be sure that they are comfortable to wear. You should also wear a sports bra to support your breasts.

    Staying hydrated is very important. You should drink before you run and you should carry a bottle of drinking water to prevent getting dehydrated. Dehydration can cause premature contractions because of problems in blood flow.

    Second trimester

    Your belly grows bigger during your second trimester thus making you more prone to slips and falls. For your safety, it is advisable that you run on smooth surfaced pavements. It is also advisable to run on a racetrack with somebody so that you can immediately get help if in case there is an emergency.

    Try to your best to control your fall if you go off-balanced. You can use your hands to break your fall or try fall on your back or to your side to prevent trauma to your abdomen.

    Third trimester
    You should be more careful on your third trimester. Always remember, listen to what your body dictates. You should take a break if you feel tired and weak. Do not exhaust yourself. Overexerting can be very dangerous to you and your baby. It is better to just do regular walks on your third trimester.

    Running during pregnancy can be very healthy as long as you know your limits. However, it is best that you talk to your health care provider first to avoid any risks.
