Survey Says!

No more strenuous exercise for me.

At least for a while.

I did an informal survey yesterday of mothers to see if anybody had spotted during her pregnancy and nobody had, except my sister. She spotted on several occasions, each time after physical athletic exercise: a game of tennis, a jog, and even after a lap swim. In the end, during her first trimester, she was limited to only the most gentle, leisurely kind of strolling and swimming.

She says that the Thai are of the opinion that exercise should stop during first trimester to allow the fragile embryo a chance to hook onto life, develop a brain and such, in an unjostled uterus. Moderate exercise can resume in the second trimester.

So the couch potato’s life for me.
