I just found out I am pregnant with my second child. I started running about 7 months ago and want to continue through this pregnancy. I am cleared for activity by my doctor. She told me anything I was already doing was fine outside of downhill skiing or rock climbing. I thought this would be a great place to get any tips from those of you who continued running through pregnancy or wife continued running. Thank you in advance for all your advice!

Thank you both so much for the recommendations. I will definately check out the forums on Runner's World. As far as eating goes, that isn't a worry. I am pregnant, nursing, and working out, I eat more than my 6'2' 220lb runner husband! lol
I have been meaning to join the runner's thread and I almost did with this question but I wasn't sure if it was right on topic so to speak. I will definately post over there. I was getting ready to start training for a sprint triathalon but that will be put on hold for now.
Thank you for responding.

Please join us at www.kickrunners.com . THere are a bunch of pregnant/new moms there. I post in the FInish Line and MultiSport forums. I will caution that some threads in the PostRace Tent are a bit off color. The actual running threads are fine, though!

Thank you everyone for the links. I have only run once this week because my 11 month old has not let me get any sleep. I used to still run when that happened but I find it is beyond me right now.
I found my inspiration a few months ago. There ways this woman running next to me at the gym. She had run 5.7 miles in under 42 minutes. (My best is 6 miles at like 59 minutes. All the while she was taking phone calls from the kids (If grandma says only one cookie then only one cookie.), checking emails, and generally doing some other things. Even though she smoked my best time doing all this, that was not the impressive part. The impressive part was she was 6 months pregnant. It was then I knew I could do it too, albeit alot slower.
I do run slooooooow now. But I run. I will come over to the running thread.

Just keeping listening to your own body. With my second pregnancy I ran up to the 7th month. But with the 3rd, I could only continue up till about the 4th month. It just didn't feel right, so I switch to other methods of staying in shape...stairmaster, biking, walking on the treadmill on an incline.
