I was hoping to get some feedback from others out there who have either gone through this or have had a spouse/significant other go through this. I'm currently 24 weeks pregnant and have been running consistently the entire time. I've been feeling great and have had no problems running. My doc originally curtailed my running to a slower speed (understandable) and to a max of 6 miles at a time. Today at my 24 week checkup, she asked that I either stop running completely or go to once a week. She said that it won't hurt the pregnancy, but I run the risk of damaging my pelvic floor and thus running the risk of incontinence later in life. I feel like it is a bit overkill, but I obviously would prefer not to be incontinent later in life! :) I feel great when I run, so I'm really bummed out by this. Any advice? Prior experience with this? I would appreciate any feedback!
Thanks,
Carolyn
