Plus, its not the exercise component I'm worried about (sadly, I'll have to replace it with some other type of exercise!), it's more the jostling or falling part.

I also think I am going to start hiking again (seems like a safe way to get exercise) and start getting acupuncture. <br /><br />Annnnnd maybe prenatal yoga?

But in the past few years I have only been doing it "half-way." Riding once a week is barely enough to stay in shape, much less continue to advance. That has been fine for me, but now I think I'll take a step back and then rejoin it later. <br /><br />But I agree...I'll need something else. I may take up watercolors again.

But I feel like I'm not really going to have time for it once I have a newborn anyhow (it's a major time commitment) and so I think it's just time to take a break from it and then return when I'm able to re-commit. As far as stopping for the 1st tri, I think the 1st tri is the only time you can actually really safely ride, without your balance being disrupted, so after that your chances off falling are increased. It's so a lose-lose. <br /><br />But you are right. I'll ride again for sure. It's just time to take a break.JustMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02493032821722724778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914382632005868190.post-52970370943976116752013-02-22T14:03:24.897-08:002013-02-22T14:03:24.897-08:00AW, I am feeling SO elated for you.

All of a sudden, I was terrified of flying!<br /><br />Is there anything that you can do for yourself during this pregnancy to replace riding? Pre-natal massages or something?dspencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03028178955338687090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914382632005868190.post-68859367483696675762013-02-22T07:22:16.713-08:002013-02-22T07:22:16.713-08:00First of all, I totally know what you mean about t...First of all, I totally know what you mean about the in-laws. At the end of the day no matter how nice they, they just aren't YOUR parents. I'm so happy for you that you are basking in all of your pregnant glory!<br /><br />I also can relate to giving up things for the sake of pregnancy. It's tough, especially because it may be hard to find as much time for those things after we have children. I do believe it is very important to have things in your life that are just for you though. For me, I think doing my own things keeps my marriage strong and makes me a happier person.

And you know, a friend of mine who's a rider did ride (and rock-climbed) all through the end. <br />But I understand the fear. <br />Maybe I would stop for know (you know until the 12 week scan and everything is properly "attached), and then see how you feel on the 2nd and 3rd trimester. <br />And well, this is just temporary you know? So don't be too hard on yourself about giving this up, it will come back! You'll ride again. Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02424374017675047414noreply@blogger.com
