Yes, I may be 8 month's pregnant but I'm still exercising. I've taken it down a notch or two and mostly swim or do yoga, but I still go to the gym to do some cardio and toning exercises. There was one point where I nearly gave up but my midwife yesterday was very encouraging.
Not only did she tell me I had fantastic stomach muscles (that has made my year) but that all the exercise I was doing would really help in labour. You have to think of it as a marathon and you wouldn't just turn up and run it without training, would you? Well not unless you were Jade Goody of course!
Having strong stomach muscles also means I'll be able to push more easily, which will hopefully make the birth quicker and less painful. I'm keeping my fingers crossed on that one!
