Hi ladies,
I have never posted in here before, and am new to ST, so forgive me if this topic has been covered before. I have a question - I am signed up for IM 2010 in Wisconsin for next September. Wondering - despite however likely or unlikely - what if I were to get preggers during the course of my training? I know if it happens soonish, I won't be racing because I would either be huge or would have just given birth. But if I were to become preggers over the summer closer to race time, would it put the baby at risk if I were to continue on my training and complete the race if I were a few months pregnant? I know it would probably mean cutting down the intensity and mileage at least a bit and make extra sure that I was eating and resting enough, but is it doable? Anyone have experience with this?
Mel.
