I used to run regularly before I got pregnant, and now I'm in my second trimester and missing it. My doctor said light exercise is good, but I'm unsure about running. Is it okay to run during pregnancy?

When I was pregnant, I used to walk a lot, but running seemed a bit too much for me. My doctor just said to listen to my body. So I stuck to light exercises. Every pregnancy is different, so what worked for me might not work for everyone.

My grandmother used to say pregnant ladies should just rest, but my doctor told me gentle exercise is good if I was doing it before. Running can be high-impact, no? It's always best to ask your gynaecologist about this specific activity. They know your health history.

My sister used to run before she got pregnant, but her doc told her to slow down after a few months. She switched to brisk walking. I guess it really depends on your fitness level and what the doctor says. Don't push it, yaar.

During my pregnancy, I focused on gentle yoga and pranayama. Running can be quite strenuous and put pressure on the joints and pelvic floor. If you've been running regularly before, maybe a modified version? But really, consulting your doctor or a prenatal fitness expert is key.

Oh, this is such a common worry! I always overthink these things. Running sounds like a lot of impact, no? I'd be so worried about the baby. I think it's safest to get a green light from your doctor before starting or continuing any intense activity like running.
