oh and i don't think it's round ligament pain because it's not usually where i get those kinds of pains but not sure if it could still be that. ↑

I've turned to walking for half an hour with 5 pound hand weights 4-5 times a week instead of running. It doesn't hurt as bad and there's not as much bouncing around. I actually enjoy it more than running now! ↑

Hey Jenna, what kind of pain? Is it braxton hicks contractions? With my past two pregnancies I had it around that time. Yes it could still be ligament pain but where exactly does it hurt? I ran through my last two pregnancies with my second pregnancy up until the day I delivered so I know it can be done but one thing you can do as you get bigger is get a belly support band...they should sell them at maternity stores and it wraps around your back under your belly and in my opinion really does help. You can try that and see if it's still pain. Actually is it pain or just discomfort? ↑

also the reason I asked if it's braxton hicks where your tummy gets really tight feeling is because sex can causer those too...nothing to be alarmed about it's normal. Also if you are having braxton hicks a lot after running it could be because you're not getting enough fluids. I alsways carry my water bottle with me while running and usually drink some at every mile. ↑

This happend to me, but I read another person ran straight through her pregnancy. It depends on your body. I have been doing life cycle and walking on incline because the baby doesn't like running. ↑
