I was a hard core runner for a long time. I was really making good times in all my events. I want to run for my local University's track team but when i found out i was pregnant i cried but i am taking my baby with open arms. I still dream of running and would like to start as soon as i can after i give birth how soon is safe? I have 2 weeks before i am due.

Girl, if you were in good physical condition before you got preganant, you should not have any trouble getting back on the track even a week after your baby is born. I was squatting at 8 months pregnant and back in the gym 1 week after my daughter was born. Ask your doctor. just run light at first. Good luck girl! you'll be back before you know it!

We began utilising condoms once we started having intercourse once more. I went again on hormonal start manage after little one used to be weaned. If you'll be able to be breastfeeding you are not able to use consistent start manage tablets (or the patch or ring or any process containing estrogen.) While it would possibly not damage your little one passing by way of the milk, it WILL motive your deliver to scale back greatly. Your choices at the same time nursing could incorporate progesterone-simplest ways (just like the mini-capsule), or barrier ways (condoms, diaphragm, and many others.) or an IUD, or 'common' ways. Breastfeeding can certainly be a factor of a common process of start manage. LAM (lactational ammenhorea process) is an excessively robust (ninety eight%) start manage process. To use it you need to meet three standards: a million. Be solely breastfeeding on call for without a formulation. (small quantities of solids on the correct time are adequate.) two. Be not up to 6 months facet-partum. three. Have now not but have your first interval. As lengthy as you meet all three of those, the process is, as famous, very robust albeit now not one hundred%. Once any individual of the 3 standards is not met, you have got to uncover yet another process.

My friend ran until the day before she gave birth and ran again the day after.

I would say once you're done breastfeeding. If you breastfeed and you're working out a lot and training tons, the nutrients that go into your breast milk to nourish your baby are being used in other areas and its really unhealthy.

Ask your doctor. I wouldn't think it would be too long if you have a normal delivery. Good luck.
