Exercise and TTC?

I just started working out again in June after my miscarriage in April. We started ttc again this month and i know its stupid but i think it will lower my chance of getting pregnant. Is it safe? Also if i did happen to get pregnant after my last cycle which was in the middle of June could it hurt the baby? I know ive heard a million times its ok but im so scared that any little thing i do will prevent me from getting pregnant and or hurt the baby. Thanks

I think regular- moderate exercise is fine....i It can actually offer a lot of benefits to you.

Even if you were pregnant, moderate cardio should not have any effect on the baby. There are different thoughts though on where your heart rate should be at during pregnancy.


I am TTC - and exercise regularly. Everything from running, to weights, and pilates. It is a good idea to build up your core muscles prior to get pregnant to make you pregnancy easier. Less pressure on your back and it can help with delivery. That's what my doc said to me.

With DD I was running until I started TTC and then I was doing the elyptical. Your body can do whatever it is used to. The Dr told me to keep it up because it's actually good for the pregnancy and for you.

The only reason they say not to is if you fall down (from bike riding, roller blading, or running). Not because it's strenuous. That's why I started the elyptical.....because you'd have to be REALLY clumsy to fall on that.

What they said. I try not to put my life on hold in any way. If that were the case I would've missed out on working out for the past 8 months and that would not be a good thing!

I felt the same way and thats why I stopped and regret it now because still no BFP and stopped running which I loved.
