working out, third trimester

[m_r_p]

When did you have to stop working out? I'm 33+3 and could only do half of my elliptical  workout today because I started having some pretty bad cramping. I don't want to keep going and get hurt so I may start limiting my workouts.

My doctor daid listen to your body. He said i can go up to the end with light working out . But it all depends on you and your body

San408, I'm going to listen to my body. I was just curious if other women had similar experiences. I'm so close to the end that if I have to stop it won't affect me too much.

I agree with you mommabanielle, I'm also going to take it easy..or at least tone down my workouts a bit. I'll do what I can and when I feel I need to stop, I'll stop. I wish you the best of luck!

I went up to the day I delivered. However, I did have to stop doing my hardcore workouts around 32-34 (can't remember) weeks. I just did a brisk walk, squats and sometimes a cardio/lower body tone workout on YouTube. But just for pregnancy.

Talk to your doctor. He/she can give you the best advice/recommendation.

I've been having problems with working out too. I'm 26 weeks with twins, I've been swimming but the last two times I had cramping for several hours afterward. I don't want to stop so I'm just going to take it way easier and listen to my body. Although last night in bed I did have very strong cramping that lasted about a minute and came on every 5 minutes about three times.  I hope it's normal and my Dr doesn't tell me to stop working out all together.
