[quote Greenluce]@ButtercupBlue Did you go to your class last night? Let us know how it went!
@lavenderlilaclily I am so happy to hear all went well with your first scan yesterday.
@AlbiMix How unhelpful and insensitive for your midwife to say that!
I am really torn, exercise is such a big part of my routine, I would usually attend 4/5 classes per week, but I do not want to tell any instructors about my pregnancy yet because is still very early days. I find online classes quite boring now, but I might do some gentle yoga just to do something.
I really hope that I will feel less anxious and stressed after my 12 week scan (wishful thinking I know!) and that I will be able to join prenatal classes in my second trimester.
Have you tried to look for any good prenatal yoga or pilates class in your area?[/quote]
Only just spotted this, sorry!
I didn't go to the class in the end. I was on the fence about whether or not to go during the day but by the evening I had a banging headache anyway so wouldn't have gone regardless of being pregnant (if that makes sense?!)
I spoke to the class instructor over the weekend and told her about being pregnant and my previous miscarriages etc and I've decided to step off the course. They'll be running another one later in the year so maybe if I'm still pregnant and feeling well I might feel brave enough to give it a go then.
I feel silly sometimes in the things I don't feel comfortable doing in first trimester (I've totally given up caffeine because I don't want to risk going over the 'allowance', I've been repainting my bedroom furniture but I've stopped half way through and now this with the exercise class!) but otoh I'm just trying to do what feels right given everything we've been through. I know if I didn't, I'd only be beating myself up later if something went wrong.
