Congratulations! I'm due next month and have a 14 month old, so they'll be 15 months apart. And after a 12 week maternity leave, I will be returning to work as well. I'm sure it will be a challenge at first, but it will also be fun to have two so close together! As far as being pregnant with a little one, it wasn't bad…

Everyone is doing great! Thanks so much for sharing. I'm getting eager to meet my little one and being done with pregnancy.

Great job! Your little one is adorable.

I run 3-4 days a week and that seems to help me the most - as far as mood, how I feel physically, and keeping weight gain in check. I also throw in some weight lifting, prenatal yoga, swimming, walking, hiking, and a few spin classes.

In addition to the baby on the way, I have a 10 year old son and a 13 month old daughter.

I'm 32 weeks today, due on July 14th. I also have a ten year old son and a 13 month old daughter.

My doctor basically said three things: 1) If I was doing it previously, I can keep doing it. 2) To listen to my body, and slow down if I need to. and 3) Exercise is good for both me and baby. Given that, I've kept working out, slowing down when I need to. I ran a 5k at 31 weeks, and am still running about 3 days a week. I…

As I'm sure you know, you have to listen to your body and each person and pregnancy is different. But this was my experience last time around. 12 days after birth - incline walking on a treadmill 4 weeks after birth - running 6 weeks after birth - weightlifting (I waited for the "all clear" from my doctor before getting…

I have been really sick with a cold/virus thing the last week or so. It's affected my sleep as well, so the past few days have been rough. I've still been running about three days a week, which has really helped me. I have less than ten weeks left now!

Congratulations! I just hit the third trimester as well and am so excited to be getting so close to the end!

Are you getting enough potassium and protein? I would try a snack like a banana with some type of protein. And a walk at lunch is a good idea as well.

I have mine set below maintenance and my doctor has been just fine with my calorie intake and weight gain thus far.

I really like the Jane Austin Pregnancy Yoga DVD for that type of workout. It really helps with hip and back discomfort toward the end of pregnancy, as well.

As others have said, it will depend on your birth experience and you should always listen to your body. With my second, I started doing incline walking on the treadmill at 12 days postpartum and jogging at 4 weeks postpartum. I waited until six weeks and my check-up to start any heavy strength training.

Nice job making it to 34 weeks! I'm at 26 weeks and still running 3-4 times a week. I say "still", but really I started back up again at about 20 weeks. I hope to make it close to the end, but will take it a week at a time.

New here and due July 14th! This will be #3 for me.

Hey Kelli, I'm in almost the exact same place you are - 21 weeks pregnant, history of running races here and there, but lately have barely managed a couple runs a month. My husband and I are running a 5k in two weeks and my goal is just to finish. I signed up for it because I knew it would keep me running, at least now and…
