Pregnant 2 weeks, is that ok to go jogging and cycling?

Question

What is good exercise for pregnant women you would suggest?
Thank you :-)x

Please answer as you know that this lady is pregnant 2 weeks,don't assume or use your experiences as a midwife, doctor or a nurse saying that how did she know, or the test cant' tell at 2 weeks, etc. you are not her, She knows 1,000,000% that she is 2 weeks pregnant!** Because her last day period was on 5 August and she has just had conceieve on 16 August *The frist week (exacatly 7 days after she had sex..she felt her body and had symtoms exactly the same as pregnant 's symtoms and also it could be multiple pregnant because the symtoms show ealry..(after 16 August her boyfriend left and has not yet make love with her again since, **she had a baby before)
her question is serious as she is not English, the ways of looking after pregnant woman and the baby in Western Contries are different from Asian countries. Thank again for people who are sincere and honest answer this questions and there is no point for people who answer because they just wanted to gain points... :

She did jogging and cycling, then she had a little pain and feel very uncomfortable with her jogging suit, also she can't even wear pants as it make her sick, her mom who was pregnant 12!! and lost 5 babies warned her that don't cycling or jogging as it could lead to a miscarried especialy in an early weeks of pregnancy.*even trying to reach things up high still at risk of misscarried.

Dear Midwife'Cotes du Rho...(level 5)
You can start to count the first week of pregnancy in women who doesn't know when she last has sex after her period due
But in some women so she doesn't count her chickens :-)....this is some imformation you should read to increase your knowledge as a midwife :-)
The onset and degree of pregnancy symptoms will vary within women. Many women experience them within days of conception, others take a few weeks before pregnancy symptoms kick in and a lucky few feel no discomfort at all. The early pregnancy symptoms listed on this page generally can be felt once implantation occurs (8 - 10 days from ovulation) and will lessen after the first trimester.
It is frustrating to realize that many pregnancy symptoms are very similar to those that occur right before menstruating. However, combined with high temperatures and a longer luteal phase - they are key indications that you have..http://www.webwomb.com/symptoms.htm

Answer 1

you can do most exercises during pregnancy, but don't start anything strenuous that you haven't already been doing (eg running). listen to your body - it will tell you if you are overdoing it! drink lots of fluids (even if you are not exercising)!

kudos to you for keeping up the exercise - too many folks see pregnancy as a free pass to sit and do nothing except eat. your pregnancy and delivery will be much more enjoyable if you stay fit. plus, you're more likely to lose the pregnancy pounds!

Answer 2

Congrats. Just live life as normal. You are not ill. If you're going to miscarry, then it could happen at any time. Usual activities including sex will not cause a miscarriage. Usually it's a defect somewhere along the line.
At 2 weeks, your period is only just due........(you conceive at around day 14 of your cycle btw. If it's 2 weeks after your period is due, then you're 6 weeks preganant as all clinicians date you from the first day of your last period).
Don't count your chickens......
A pregnancy test will still show positive for about 2 weeks after a miscarriage too. Sorry to be blunt. But it's true.

Answer 3

Yes, at 2 weeks, you can exercise almost the same as if you weren't pregnant. You need to avoid inverted yoga poses.

Please talk to your doctor about an exercise plan. The exercises you can do when your pregnant depend on what stage of the pregnancy you are in, and how fit you were BEFORE you got pregnant.

being pregnant does not make you non-functional, and exercising while you are pregnant will help keep you healthy during the pregnancy and make it easier to lose the weight after the pregnancy.

Answer 4

If you normally go jogging, than it is okay to continue for so long. Cycling is the same, but I think you can ride a bike as long as you are comfortable with it. I rode a stationary bike while I was pregnant with my first child. Walking is a great exercise for pregnant women, and I would also recommend water aerobics. They are low impact and actually help relax you, especially later in your pregnancy. Congratulations on the expecting baby! Good luck to you.

Answer 5

Your so early, you can do anything. Later on you should consider low impact sports, like swimming, walking, etc. I've also heard that you shouldn't do sit ups/crunches in your 2 and 3rd trimester (after 3 months) because laying on your back for extended periods can cut off normal circulation to the baby.

Congrats!

Answer 6

Yes, it's fine. Just make sure you stop if you get very tired or dizzy.
Later on, yoga and swimming are the best. Aqua aerobics is also very good. There is special prenatal yoga and pilates classes for pregnant women. Also, walk, walk, walk

Answer 7

definately keep doing everything youve done, just dont try to do more than you have and dont do anything that puts major pressure on your - well u know - like horseback riding - or that you could fall from. Other than that, all is good, unless you are high risk for anything, your doctor will tell you.

OH Get that pregnancy yoga dvd... works amazingly!

Answer 8

You can do your normal exercises while you are newly pregnant. Once you get to 4-6 months pregnant it would be best to do a gentler type of exercise, swimming or yoga.

Answer 9

My wife has found online forums an invaluable resource for connecting with many moms-to-be during her pregnancy. (We have a 5 month old now.) In particular, the Trying-To-Conceive forums (and others) here: http://www.loungeplace.com/bb/view_category.php?id=1

Answer 10

stay active but keep it easy. and if anything at all begins to pain you let your doctor know. try some yogas or pilates they have some for pregnant women that really helps you to control your muscles and it works in your advantage when its baby time. good luck.
