Pumping pregnancy

I was reading an article in today's Fabulous magazine called 'exercise caution?'

It is about women exercising during pregnancy but I'm not talking about a couple of lunges here and there, these women are taking on marathons and weightlifting a few weeks away from their due dates, one woman Sally Dixley was weightlifting 215lb (over 15 stone) two days before her due date! 

When I found out I was pregnant exercise was the last thing on my mind, however according to Babycentre, three quarters if women who have a healthy pregnancy do not do enough exercise. 

Dr Hiliary says:

'...every pregnancy is different, so the main thing is to listen to your body and try to reach a happy medium."

I would say my happy medium is a couple of lengths in a pool and a Mc Donald's after. 

If I do find myself pregnant again though, I will think about a fast walk around the park. Mind you I haven't got rid of my baby weight from 5 years ago, so I should probably start now. 

I did just sit at a table bench at the park and the otherside has lifted off the ground. Best start my fast walk away from the park now. 

Chop chop!
