Hi Maisi - congratuations!

I am 37 weeks now and went to the gym every week (just swimming now though). I mostly stuck to the classes though and have done yoga, aqua aerobics and lots of swimming. Just be sure to let them know you are pregnant. They will create a programme for you. Don't do anything too strenous near the end as your more likely to pull a muscle. My baby loves it and is very active when I come home!!

Good luck xx

listen to your body,i was a gymn instructor and fitness fanatic for yrs but i only walk now im pregnant and garden,im 29 weeks.i lost 2 pregnancys at the gymn because i was doing too much,step aerobics was too much.but its up to you,i just feel i will get back to it like i have before within 1 week of the birth im back at the gymn,its nota long time really being pregnant so take care

Hi, I'm 5 weeks pregnant-and 36 yrs old, so not sure how to deal with excercise. This isnt my first baby though.... I normally do spin and bodypump-is that okay with reduced weights, and taking the spinning a little easier? x

i do aqua arobics and i always have a real stress when doin it. i am 13 weeks now and my midwife said if you were at the gym b4 then its ok because its not such a shock to ur system but if not then its best to talk to ur midwife.

hi lol5 spinning is ok but take it easyas ive done over spinning 1200 classes now and some as you know are so intense you come of the bike exhausted and dehydrated ,my pals were spinning until 6 months but in honesty depends how big you get,my tummy got way too big at 5 months i couldnt spin,aqua aerobics is the best options and lots of walks,but really is up to you.take care

if uv always gone to the gym then its fine to carry on if u speak to one of the staff n explain ur pregnant they will tell u wat u can n cant do hun. basically u lighten wat u normaly do n no stomach exersices as it can harm the baby good luck xxx
