I'm 4 weeks pregnant with my first one and one of my biggest concerns has always been the changes to my body. Depending on the life schedule I've been going to the gym regularly, doing Body Pump 2-3 times a week (whole body exercise with weights) and yoga. I also loved my after workout jacuzzi and sauna sessions which sounds like out of question now.

I read that you can keep up with the exercise you were already doing and make some adjustments as you progress in the pregnancy but I'm looking for some real life experiences. It's too early to ask friends!

I carried on with body pump and running until it felt uncomfortable, can’t remember when that was. I actually ran a 10
mile race when about 6 weeks pregnant/-I’d done the training and found out I was pregnant just a week before- I did it just took it easy. When it got too uncomfortable I took up swimming and cycled to the pool and back (2 miles each way) up until 40 weeks. My midwife was a bit taken aback when I turned up to my due date appointment on the bike!

That's brilliant that you went to the appointment on your bike, love it!
