Strong and Pregnant

Being pregnant is awesome.  And painful.  And tiring.  And emotional.  And magical.  And miraculous.  In honor of the amazing finishers of the 122nd Boston Marathon today, I'd love to share a few links to some pregnant women who have run in marathons while pregnant.  Duh, this isn't for everyone!  So, please, always consult your healthcare provider before engaging in any activity while pregnant.  Nonetheless, if you can stay strong, healthy, mindful, and safe...DO IT!  There are women out there that can exercise and do some pretty spectacular things while being pregnant (hmm, I'm thinking like even getting out of bed in the first trimester is spectacular!).  And some that can but aren't sure if they should.  Well, here's a compilation of some empowering women. 

ALWAYS:

• CONSULT YOUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER
• STAY TRUE TO YOURSELF AND DO WHAT INSPIRES YOU
• PLAY IT SAFE FOR YOU AND YOUR BABY AND YOUR FAMILY
