Worry Free Pregnancy

I’m already close to the end of my 1st trimester and i’m happy to report that it has been an easy ride so far. I have not experienced any morning sickness, no food aversions nor unreasonable cravings, not much pain except for occasional headaches and slight contractions (sometimes i even forget that i am pregnant, until i see my baby bump and breakouts on my forehead). For this, i have my running to thank. I guess it’s because of the active lifestyle that i got used to. We have also been watching childbirth videos and much of what is taught, i can relate to because of the running training i went through. Among these are breathing techniques, focusing on a single focal point during labor, practicing relaxation while going through something strenuous, etc.

I still try to run just to remind my body of the rhythm but i keep it short (max of 5k) and relaxed. I’m happy that i’ve been able to convince Gabby to run with me too.

I hope that the rest of the pregancy will remain worry-free!
