could it be caused that way?

Q: Can a lot of extreme exercise cause miscarriage? For example: Being a dancer who dances about 5 1/2 hours a week and can get to the point of receiving bruises and doing all kinds of tricks and such that are hard on the body. Not to mention a lot of crunches/sit ups and man push ups?

A: It would be very unlikely. However, extreme physical activity can sometimes caused reduced fertility to begin with. (Your body stops ovulating.)Claudine Crews CPM, LM

Pregnant and Exercising?

Q: I’m 5 weeks pregnant and on the drill team at my college. (Drill is a military dance we do a lot of falling, jumping, running, and cheer like cart wheeling moves along with rolling and dance moves.) I don’t know if this type of exercise will cause a miscarriage. Someone please help i wanna know so i can just put drill off till after my pregnancy.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_XgQt2KnKIthis is one of my routines my senior year at my old high school pay attention to the falls and tell me what you think of being pregnant and doing that lol

A: I would talk to your doctor & seek their proffesional advise. However i watched the whole video & didn’t think it was that bad unless my doctor told me not to i would still do it. I trained alot when i was pregnant & the doctor told me not to stop & continue what i was doing cos i was fine & fit & healthy. But of course there are exceptions. You need to stay FIT & HEALTHY for your baby, just cos you get pregnant doesnt mean you stop all exercise & become a couch potato, thats not healthy for the baby or you. If you are training hard just scale it back abit BUT i cannot stress enough, speak to your DOCTOR first!

Exercising when pregnant?

Q: I’ve just found out I am pregnant, and while it was unplanned, I’m not upset about it. However, I’ve been working out a lot lately because I wanted to get into shape. I’m not in shape yet, but I was wondering what kind of exercise is still okay. I’ve heard that certain things can cause miscarriages, like lifting too much weight. I already walk about four miles a day, two in the morning, and two in the evening. Does anyone have suggestions? I wish I were in better shape, so is there anything I can continue doing to meet that goal while pregnant?

A: I ran, danced and lifted weights through many pregnancies without any complications but the rule of thumb is that you shouldn’t start any new exercise programs without your doctor’s advice. So if you’re already walking keep it up. Also look into prenatal yoga – which is great for you and the baby on so many levels and swimming. But of course always check with with your health care provider first.
