To wish more pregnant women were like this?

[LisaExpress]

Good example

Running a marathon at 7 months pregnant. Good on her.

YABU.

Why is the OP a troll?

[HolidayArmadillo]

I think it's impressive running a marathon pregnant or not. Not sure what's prompted the first response maybe I've missed something.

I think if you're fit and active anyway then it's great to be able to keep that up during pregnancy, I probably wouldn't advise anyone take up marathon running for the first time when pregnant.

[LisaExpress]

I'm absolutely not a troll.

[Justfornowitwilldo]

Why do you wish that?

[LisaExpress]

No idea why you've reported this! I think this woman is amazing!

[FaithLehane]

I don't get it, why is she a troll. Also bit of an abusive post there.

[FaithLehane]

MikeOxard I've reported your post.

[FaithLehane]

Bold fail there...

[TigOldBitties]

I think she's great and quite inspirational, I don't think yabu to wish more pregnant women were like this as long as you don't wish all were like this.

[VashtaNerada]

Well done on anyone who's able to keep active during pregnancy, but I wouldn't say it's a "good example". Implies that people with pregnancy difficulties are "bad".

[Xmasbaby11]

Well, she is amazing ...but it's kind of a lot to aim for unless you're already spectacularly fit.

[Badgerwife]

I personally think anyone attempting to train and run a marathon during a pregnancy is bat-shit crazy and possibly endangering their baby. But that's a lot different to keeping fit by running or long-distance walking whilst pregnant.

Mike Oxrard. Why is the O.P a troll and why the bad language. Okay we're adults and we can handle and nor is mumsnet against swearing. However is there really any need for cursing..x

Hi Lisa Express. I think it's amazing for a pregnant women to do this at 7 months or indeed at any time during her pregnancy. I am no expert but I wouldn't mind betting she is having a boy as women who are pregnant with boys always seem to have so much energy. I have a girl and I had no energy at all and I could hardly walk never mid run at 7 months. xx

[LisaExpress]

Ah it's a 10k not a marathon. Still hugely impressive.

[maddening]

Well it would be lovely if we all could but here in the real world nature dictates otherwise.

[HesterShaw]

Eh? Am I missing something?

[LisaExpress]

And I've reported MikeOxard too.

I was ill in my first pregnancy, partly due to an as yet undiagnosed disorder and struggled to even walk around a supermarket. During my second pregnancy, I had placenta previa and couldn't even vacuum. Good for her, but I'll not take it as a gold standard of how pregnant women should behave, tyvm.

[Justfornowitwilldo]

I'm still a bit as to why you think she's a 'good example.' Compared to what?

[landofsoapandglory]

I couldn't walk, let alone fucking run when I was pregnant with DS2. I was stuck on crutches or in a wheelchair with very severe SPD, that I am still disabled from 16.5 years post natal.

YABU.

Ps on average childbirth takes the same calories as running a marathon.
