Should You Exercise During The 1st Trimester?

___________________________________________________________________________________________________

Many women wonder if they can exercise/work out during the first trimester. The short answer is yes, with some considerations. The research says that most pregnant women are not exercising enough so, if you were active before pregnancy and you have no underlying medical issues, you should be able to continue those activities as normal with some precautions. If you haven't exercised much before, consult a medical professional and you might want to consider waiting till the 2nd trimester before starting a new exercise program.

So, I recently had a miscarriage due to my hormone levels not rising high enough. And while I'm sort of in the bargaining stage of grieving, I've been researching around about how to boost my hormone levels. Diet-wise I ate everything right, including vitamin supplements targeted for having a healthy baby. But then also researched that good exercise is one of them. Before I tested positive for pregnancy I was already doing a workout routine and stopped as soon as I found out I was pregnant. Looking back now, I probably shouldnt have done that because maybe my hormone levels would have remained high? Just wondering if I am right about this. Because while I am speculating this it could be that I am still bargaining at the moment

I am 5 weeks pregnant and when I exercise, I feel a little cramping in my lower abdomen and it can be relieved with a little rest. Can I continue to exercise? I have never had a miscarriage or a high-risk pregnancy. This is my first pregnancy. And I used to exercise regularly.
