Hi guys it's Andrea Guzman again, Mommie To Be time. If you guessed it today I am here to talk you about my favorite thing, pregnancy and running. Well, it's not my favorite thing but I get the most benefits out of it. First of all I need you guys to know that when I first started, I freaked out, I was like, oh my god I am hurting the baby. OBGY ran through both her pregnancies, don't worry about it.
Secondly, I am going to talk to you guys about first, second and third trimester barriers to running. The reason why you're going to be like I want to stop, I want to stop. Well let me tell you, it looks bad okay! First trimester, fatigue and nausea, okay, it's really hard to run when you feel like you want to throw up all the time. We're screwed because then you start working out, you're going to feel better naturally.
Second of all you've a lot of like hip discomfort, little piercing pain, of course, the uterus is stretching so, live through it right. As you're reaching in the second trimester of running, you're going to feel like there's increased energy burst you'll like it as your advantage. But the down side is the baby is going to start to move a little bit, actually move towards the end of the second trimester and you're going to feel more weight when you're running. So your gate is going to be off for commuting. You're going to kind of want to, you're going to feel like this is your running. Again try to hold your chest up when you are running so that you keep your posture and again I recommend visiting your chyro-practitioner.
Third trimester, okay, baby is going to be moving around a lot. That's where I am at right now. I am more to 10-10-10 plan, meaning I run 10 minutes, then I walk 10 minutes and then I run 10 minutes, and I am not running that fast. I started running about 6.5 in the first turn of the trimester, now I am on the treadmill at 4.5 and it is lower sometimes.
Again some days are going to be better than others, some days you're going to be like, I've a lot of energy I can give it, other days you're not going to want to come to the gym, push through it. And important, if you weren't running before your pregnancy, don't try to start this up now. It's not good time to start running. That's why I am trying to catch you guys early on.
Okay, what else? Drink lots of water, don't drink lots of water like an hour and a thirty of workout because you're just going to have a side-ache and make sure that you monitor your heart. Don't go over a 140 heart beats per minute, if you get a heart-rate monitor when you start doing, it'll know when you go over 140 beats per minute. But I haven't yet and I have been running fairly fast in the beginning.
Okay, so guys that's pretty much it. Remember one more thing about the first trimester a lot of gas pains. So that's nothing to worry about. It is just natural because your body is changing and the baby is pushing down on your bladder. Oh! really important, please buy some linear bathroom. Go to the bathroom before you start running because as you're running, you're going to feel like you've to go to the bathroom. But psychologically you know you're not because you just went.
Okay! I hope that covers everything guys. I'll talk to you again and make sure take care of you first or your baby won't be healthy. Bye!
