Question about Exercise in Early Pregnancy

[DCRunningMama]

Hi--

I *finally* got my BFP on 5/9 after 5 cycles (4 fresh, 1 frozen) and would really like to start exercising again. I used to be a hard-core runner, but cut that down to 20 miles per week or less over the past year while doing all these treatments. While in an IVF cycle, the only exercise I do is walk...and now that I have my BFP, I'd like to start running again. But, I'm scared. I ran all through my son's pregnancy (he was an IVF baby as well), but I'm having a hard time getting started again because we had to work so hard for this pregnancy. Are any of you exercising? Running?

DC - congratulations!!!!! I am so excited for you! A lot of girls run/jog throughout, my OB is very conservative and only wanted walking or swimming and no high impact but I know other girls here have OBs with different opinions!

Great luck!
