Knocked up and cycling..

[EmptyB]

I am not going to offer any advice. I only started riding after I had babies and during my pregnancies I endulged all my cravings and got fat. Very fat.

 

Congratulations on your pregnancy. You will be a hot momma when your baby comes and be back in shape in no time

You supposed to say "congratulations on your being knocked up"...

[blondeonabike]

I like the "Baked" reference. 'n Broodjie in die oond. 

[IndianRoadie]

i have never though i would ever come across such a topic lol. 

 

but its interesting

[Vetseun]

fabes will know all about this, not because he was pregnant  , but because I believe his wife is an expert at riding up till her last day... and she is a good rider too I believe..

 

hydrate more too - pregnant woman has a higher chance of getting blood clots and if you dehydrated even more so.

She is pregnant.... again. I really do pity the poor woman.

Then it will be "baking" for sure?

I found out recently I am pregnant and really don't want to quit now and get completely unfit and have to start at square 1 in 8 months or so... My doctor said it is fine to keep going 'moderately', no more than 70% of my max. heart rate. That would mean strolling at 140bpm, and since it doesn't take much effort to get there, it feels rather on the 'easy' side than to the moderate side. 

I am planning to get at least an hour a day in outside on the MTB (only on the tar road and easy gravel, nothing dangerous), and once I get too top-heavy to continue on my indoor trainer.

Are there any lady hubbers who kept on cycling right through their pregnancy? At what intensity did you keep cycling? How did it work out for you?

   

[kjind]

I'll say your biggest concern will be crashing. So maybe best to stick to tar and easy roads.

[Nettie R]

Listen to your doctor. What works for one person doesn't always work for the other.

I think the general advice doctors give is 140bbm or less.

the question is how important is the safety of your unborn should you fall?

[V12man]

Then it will be "baking" for sure?

As long as she does not overcook it.... :)

 

First - congratulations Baked - Second - Please don't fall off...

 

Stay within your limits and you will be fine - you will suffer long before the baby does.

I thought the cool kids all say 'we're pregnant' - damn I can't keep up ....

 

 

You are correct, it is the appropriate term.

 

What is more, when we were pregnant, I had no difficulty training either and even did a Two Oceans Ultra when we were pregnant.

 

And despite regularly carbo loading with Castle Lager (there was not as much choice then) , I am happy to report that neither of my daughters suffer from Foetal Alcohol Syndrome.

 

I was fortunately that I did not suffer from morning sickness and our pregnancy was a very peaceful and enjoyable time.

[HeyYou]

I can't help, or give you advice, neither of my wives did any exercise at all, let alone during pregnancy!!

 

But. pregnant women experience many physiological changes, some of which may suggest caution.

 

This article suggests that your heart is under strain anyway, so perhaps the precautionary principal is a good idea.

During pregnancy, several things go inside a woman's body.

There is much information available about pregnancy - with all the medical advice, books, news, and all. But do you ever wonder what are some bizarre and unexpected things that happen inside a woman's body during pregnancy?

 

 

 

Much of this stuff happen due to the overwhelming response of hormones inside the body. Here are some of the surprising facts that are often overlooked, are strange, and true.

1. The Massive Expansion of Uterus

The body of a woman, is indeed, an incredible thing. During pregnancy, the uterus expands as much as 500 times its average size. From a couple of ounces, its weight can increase up to 1-2 pounds. However, it shrinks back to its original size once the baby is delivered.

2. The Enlarging Heart

For the love of the child, it inevitably grows. But yes, the heart actually grows. Due the increased volume of blood in the body, the heart is put to task - it beats harder and more rapidly. The blood volume in your body alone increases by a significant 40-50% Isn't this surprising?

3. Cravings Can Mean Much More Than Just Food

Pregnancy links itself with cravings for pickles, ice creams, and other creams. There is not really a clear justification for it. However, it is believed that these cravings can mean that the body may be lacking in a certain nutrient. 

 

 

 

4. It's the Baby First

During the time of pregnancy, the food reaches the baby first before the mother. Even if the mother skips a meal, the food is derived for the baby from the body. So it is crucial that a healthy diet must be maintained during pregnancy.

5. More Pregnancy

It is a fact that a woman can get pregnant even if she is already pregnant. And this happened to a woman in Arkansas who gave birth to two babies on different dates.

Now, how surprising is that?
