- Should an 8months pregnant mother to be be running competitively?
We all know it's been advised for pregnant women to always exercise when pregnant,but should a woman at 8 months pregant be running a competitive race?Could this not be dangerous for both Pregnant mother to be and child?Is it safe for an 8months pregnant mother to be to run an 800m race?
Well Five-time U.S. national champion, Alysia Montano didn't think so as she left many stunned after running an 800m race while 34 weeks pregnant( 8 1/2 months pregnant)..Though she finished last in the race yesterday at the Hornet Stadium in Sacramento, California, the pregnant woman said she enjoyed it and felt 'really good'.

That baby is gonna pop out! 8 months pregnant mother to be who ran 800m race. |
The 28-year-old runner, who received a standing ovation after completing the race in 2 minutes, 32.13 seconds, said her doctor gave her the go-ahead and contrary to beliefs,it is
not harmful to the baby...
'I've been running throughout my pregnancy and I felt really, really good during the whole process.'That took away any fear of what the outside world might think about a woman running during her pregnancy.What I found out mostly was that exercising during pregnancy is actually much better for the mom and the baby...I did all the things I normally do...I just happened to be 8 months pregnant. This is my normal this year"I don't know about you but i feel this is pushing it too far,I really feel she has endangered the health of the baby and hers,An 8months pregnant woman or mother to be should not be running a competitive race.
But apart from that,i must give the pregnant mother to be Alysia Montano big kudos,i'm not pregnant and i cant even move myself.This woman is 8 months preganant and she runs 800m in a competitive race? Absolutely incredible!
