Seem to find a new excuse each week to avoid going to Legs, Bums & Pregnancy Tums. Today i've been convincing myself that an exercise class in this heat would be bad for me and baby. Have only been to class once (only 19 weeks pregnant) - can't remember if the gym was hot or air conditioned.

Any thoughts?

I allowed far too many bits of conflicting advice to put me off exercise during pregnancy. I think exercise is a good thing, and much better for you than not exercising, assuming there's no medical reason you can't. If you find yourself getting drastically overheated during the class you can always sit down for 5 minutes and regain your composure. A good instructor will ensure no-one gets dangerously overheated anyway. Now get your gym knickers on and get down there!

As an exercise teacher I can say that the instructor will make sure they do not let you do anything too much. They will have all doors and windows open I am sure and probably teach the class in a more gentle format than usual. The teacher will also be qualified in ante and post natal exercise so the needs of you and your baby will be top of the list - not making you 'go for the burn' in this heat!


So as QueenMab says: 'Now get your gym knickers on and get down there!' You will feel much better for it.

How about swimming? I did a lot of swimming classes right up to my births (one week early) and found the mental focus required good for me. At the time, I didn't find them strenuous at all but I wonder if it did do somegood in the end as I put on 28 lbs exactly both times (2 stones!) but lost it v quickly pp.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
