Exercise? Hot baths?

[Angel022605]

Ok I have read on several different web sites concerning exercise and hot baths....

Exercise: I have read that if your body is used to your routine you can continue it while TTC T or F?

I have read you don't need to get your heart rate above 140/150, no high steps, no situps, no torso twists, and don't lift anything above 25 lbs T or F?

I have read you can only walk, no jogging, no running T or F?

I have read you can't do anything that can cause bouncing T or F?

Hot baths: I have read the temp should not be more than 100 degrees or luke warm, is that for preg women only or does it apply to TTCers?

I have read as long as the water does not turn you skin pink or does not cause you to sweat then you're ok T or F?

I have read that it is ok to have a hot bath as long as it is not longer than 10 mins T or F (because unlike hot tubs, bath water starts cooling off immediately and hot tubs stay hot)

Any advice is greatly appreciated RE exercise or hot baths

Personally, my doctor told me that I could keep doing exactly the same thing at the gym while trying until third trimester of pregnancy then I would have to reduce intensity... I am at the gym 1.5 hrs per day, 5 days per week...

Exactly why I was told not to worry about it. I've been on the same exercise schedule for 2 years...

I can't take baths (I get yeast infections from them for same reason sorry tmi) so I'm not sure on that front, sorry I couldn't be more help on that front!

Another question....I exercisedd weekly 45 mins 4-5 days/week and due to lack of motivation stopped for several weeks... If I were to start up again at the same intensity(mod-high intensity) would it be ok for me fertility wise or do I need to stick to low intensity? When I had AF I would do high intensity and Switch to mod/low intensity during my fertile peek so I won't hurt any chances of getting preg... Long story short I need to start exercising back the way I used to(med/high intensity) and was wondering if I could safely go back to the old routine without hurting fertility chances?

The only person who can give you a definite answer is your doctor. Everybody is different and relying on internet searches and personal experiences can be dangerous. I highly recommend seeing your doctor about all your per-conception questions. That way the answers are tailored for you specifically. Good luck
