Hula hooping when trying to conceive - is it safe?

My husband and i want to start trying for a baby but i am not sure what types of exercise won't hinder the conception and are safe once i have conceived. Can anyone offer any advice? I have a hula hoop which i like to use but again, i am not sure if it is recommended for people in my situation.

If you are ttc won't the hula hoop get in the way? Fnarr! Seriously though I carried on running and swimming whilst ttc and when pg. So you'll be ok I guess. Is hula hooping a proper sport then?

Is this you OP?

Could this be the answer to your problem?

Kat031 · 08/05/2011 19:06

hahaha - no, not a proper sport as far as i know, just a way to combine tv with exercise!

I did once date an acrobat from the circus who told me that if we had sex whilst I hula hooped it was impossible to conceive .........I gave birth 9 months later to twins one dressed as a clown the other in a top hat the rabbit was delivered with the placenta and I grew a beard shortly after .......the acrobat? he fucked off with the ringmasters wife.

Are you taking the piss? Confused

Strumpypumpy · 08/05/2011 19:23

Nickschick interesting! OP I commend your search for combining exercise with tv. Grin my living room is just not big enough. And whenever I do hula hooping on the wii fit, the dog tries to nip my arse.

Good for practising hip action I s'pose...

:o

Nickschick I'm gobsmacked that you can have sex while hulahooping. I think we need more logistical details.

Really OP are you seriously worrying about it? What about worrying about more realistic things like if the vibrations from being in a car or other vehicle make the sperm come out?

The perils of Circus sex NSFW

OP - are you serious? Grin at the thought of having sex while hula hooping. On the topic of other things to worry about - I heard that the vibrations on a train are likewise worrysome. And of course using the microwave is a Bad Thing. Everyone's an effin expert, and you can find lots of ways to blame yourself for failing to conceive if you just put in a quick google search.

OP - I asked my hoop tutor this (I do a class) and she said it was "probably" fine (very reassuring Grin) but if I was worried during TWW I could stick to arm/neck/leg/throwing stuff (etc) and just keep it off my tummy. HTH.

Hula hooping while heavily pregnant is quite challenging. And amusing for other people.
