PREGNANCY AND RUNNING




Most of us would believe that pregnancy is not a time for running.


These days we have people of weight telling us the opposite: Competition, running, pregnant


There are obvious dangers to the baby and the mother in a situation like this: the mother may fall and fall flat to the front of her body, causing harm to the baby and herself. 


She may also collide...


Medical recommendation seems to tell all about the medical technicalities involved.


The more a woman changes her habits/routine during pregnancy, the more she suffers and the harder it will be for her, her partner, and her body to recover.


Running has as many dangers as walking around a set of stairs at home, however: It all depends on how much she is used to doing that.


Even at her own home, she may fall over the belly because of a set of stairs...


In case she is not used to the house and they have a set of stairs, it will actually be safer for her to run, assuming she runs frequently, than staying at home and risking herself on those stairs...


This is modern thinking: There was a time in which pregnancy was regarded as a disease of some sort, so numerous the restrictions on the mother's life were.


Modern days, modern thinking, which is actually the same thinking that the aborigines had: Nothing special about pregnancy. Just do all in the same way (Aborigines, pregnancy)... .
