@torah1st2019 YES! So bad! You can actually see it in the graph I posted at the end, that's why my distance sucked so much Jan/Feb/Mar in 2019! It went away like someone flipped a switch when I hit the second trimester though. Do what you have to to make it through the first tri. For me, this...

@orlen yeah, gaining over 40lb was NOT my plan lol. It'll work out!

@joelightening I only ever bouldered stuff I knew I could top that didn't go very high (and only then, because I missed it SOO much!) Little did I know that I wouldn't really be able to do it PP either lol, my fingers are going to be garbage when I get back! Yeah, top rope was the best during...

@joyseeker16 Bouldering is less safe, but actual roped in climbing is one of the safest thing you can do while pregnant! My gym even had a specific pregnancy harness that you could use for free :)

@malajusted my fitness watch was regularly telling me I was burning 2000-3000 cals a day (regular would have been around 1500). It is definitely hard on your system!

@kubipan We ended up with a Thule and we love it. Both hubby and I run (me much more than him) and it works well as both a running stroller, and our regular every day stroller. We were going to go for that one, or the BOB, but chose Thule because it is significantly lighter, more collapsible...

So, when I was pregnant, I worried constantly about fitness levels, weight gain, and how my body would recover after giving birth. It's not like I was a serious athlete before my pregnancy, but I was running very consistently, rock climbing and preparing for a triathlon. All that changed when I...
