Subject: Yoga and pregnancy

Hi there,

I'm new to this board so i'm not sure if this question has been asked before or not. I've been practising ashtanga on and off for 2 years now. My partner and i are hoping to have a baby and i know that there are some who advise not to pracice during the first trimester but i was wondering what would happen if you DID practice in the first few early weeks of your pregnancy (obviously unaware that you were pregnant of course).

Does that harm the baby? I read somewhere that it is in the first trimester that the womb tries to attach itself to the placenta so it's advisable not to do strenuous exercises.

Thanks.

Namaste

Hi popo - welcome to the forum. There is a recent discussion about this issue here:
http://www.yoga.com/forums/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=24444&posts=7

and if you do a search on "ashtanga" and "pregnancy" through the whole forum, there are several more that I have not had time to review. If you have ever had a miscarriage, most forms of yoga now insist (not suggest...) no yoga for the first 3 months.

Best wishes for a happy, healthy pregnancy
