If running was part of your routine before pregnancy, and your doctor gives the green light, you can absolutely keep logging those miles. The general recommendation for exercise during pregnancy remains 150 minutes per week—so if you’re feeling good, go for it! Just remember: your body is changing daily, and it’s okay for your routine to change too.
Supportive gear makes all the difference:
-
A high-quality sports bra
-
Maternity support belts for your growing belly (we love these options from Momcozy!)
-
Updated running shoes (yes, your feet might change size!)
As relaxin—the hormone that helps loosen your ligaments and joints during pregnancy—kicks in, you might notice that movements start to feel a little different. Be gentle with yourself, stay hydrated, and above all, listen to your body.
