What should I do?

I found out I was pregnant on Friday. Think it's 4 weeks. I'm meant to be running the Norwich Half Marathon in 2 weeks time. I ran London this year, and I'm certainly fit enough. I hadn't entered planning on going for a PB, I just wanted to finish. Should I still do it or see if I can defer to next year?

I am 32 weeks and I have continue exercising as intensely as before. As long as your body is used to that level of exercise then it should not be a problem. My SIL is a runner and she did a marathon at 26/27 weeks.

I would check with your doctor and MW though. I did and my consultant and MW were both fine with me continuing as before.

Hello! I ran a full marathon in April when I was about 6 weeks pregnant but I didn't know...
If you have been training and are used to running the distance you will be just fine!
Enjoy!

I'm not very good at running (5km is my max), and haven't run (mainly cos I'm a lazy ass) since I got my BFP. When I was 6 weeks I did a charity cycle (cycling IS my thing) that was 27miles. I'd had spotting earlier that week saw GP mentioned cycle and he said to take it easy but go for it. You've probably not seen Dr/MW yet, but you could make a GP appt say you're preggo and ask advice about you running the half.
