Hi, I am 40 years old and have just discovered that I am pregnant after trying for only two months. I am a little stunned and shocked that this happened so quickly, nevertheless delighted.
Now, I am quite a fit active person. I row and train for rowing about 3/4 times a week, run once or twice a week and compete regularly with my horse. What are the sensible guidelines for continuing my exercise until I physically can't because of my bump? I have read many conflicting reports, but I do believe that because I was very fit when I conceived, I should continue to exercise, but maybe perhaps a little less than I was before? I have not yet told my rowing coaches of my condition (very early days) and I do intend to do a 5k boat race at the end of this month - silly to continue or silly to be worrying about it at this stage when I am at peak fitness?
Help!!!!
