I like yoga as well. I didn't think that a yoga teacher would take a complete beginner on in a general class if they were pregnant though? It's different if they have some experience albeit with a different teacher, but given how differently the body moves and reacts when pregnant, surely starting as a newbie in a general class would be a recipe for injury?

Yes, but if you're only 5 weeks or so (like me), I don't see how you'd be moving differently yet! But of course there's a difference between someone who never exercises/completely out of shape versus someone who is generally is good physical condition - I don't see how someone who is in generally good physical condition (including flexibility!) who happens to be in early pregnancy would be much different than your average yoga newbie.

BUt then again, i've never taken yoga so maybe there's mysterious moves and stuff I'm not aware of that wouldn't work even in very early pregnancy?

Sami - I have just been to the dentist and on the wall there was a poster and I thought 'why is Sami on the wall? How odd.' Then I realised your avvy is a real character from a cartoon!

:rotfl: My avvy is Edna from the Incredibles pixar film - I'm sure in a few years you'll be up on all these things - even if you try to avoid them they get in there some how


DID - thought I'd give you some prams to think about coz u said you like modern ones and or bright/whacky ones (yes I know I'm a geek!)

Everything softens up in early pregnancy though, it would be very easy to overstretch something without realising...

oh Skinty - you know that muscle separating thing you talked about... which way do they separate horizontal or vertical?

Like Krystaltips says. In the first few weeks of pregnancy your body produces a hormone which causes your muscles to relax more. This means that it is really easy to hyper-extend and cause damage to muscles and to joints. Yoga is all about moving your body into poses which challenge but don't hurt you, and holding them for a period of time. The effect of pregnancy would be to make it very easy to get into a pose which could lead to an injury, but to mask the discomfort of this until later. It won't do the baby any harm, but it could lead to you having a nasty sports injury which would linger after the baby is born. If you were an old hand, you'd have a better idea as to how far it was safe for you to stretch, and would in fact probably pull back a bit from this, as Skintchick has advised she does.

Being already fit doesn't matter. I was a regular gym goer when pregnant with my first child (min 3 times a week often more) but as soon as I was pregnant, the trainer at the gym was very clear with me that I needed to be careful on for example the abductor and adductor machines, chest press, etc and limit my range of movement to less than I had previously done, as I would otherwise run the risk of a nasty injury for the same reasons.
