Running while pregnant?

I'm TTC #2 and wondering if anyone has continued running while pregnant. I've only been running for about 4 months (I started with the C25K) and I can run for about 25 minutes without stopping, I"m working myself up to a 5K. Do you think it would be safe for me to continue if I got pregnant in the new few months?

As long as you started before pregnancy you will be fine. However, you will notice right away that you will slow down as it's harder to breathe. I was shocked about how fast that happens.

I agree, my doctor said that would ever you did before you can still do pregnant. If you are running 5ks before pregnancy you can continue doing that. I wouldn't do any longer distance then you are used to.

I am 25 weeks pregnant and am walking/running 4-6 miles 5 days a week. I am doing a 10K next week... I used to be able to finish it around 55 minutes, now it takes me an hour and 25 minutes.

My doctors said to just make sure I am hydrated and that I can always have a conversation- he calls it the talk test. He doesn't want me gasping for air ever.

After this 10k I think I going to stick to just walking... it is def getting harder to run.

Ohhh and in my opinion- I think the baby likes the exercise. It helps rock him/her to sleep. haha. :)
