  • Exercise During High Risk Pregnancy

    If your physician is comfortable with your continued bowling (you are acclimated to the activity) and believes you are physically able to workout, there should be no problem.

  • PUSH: Toxoplasma Gondii and Other Delights

    But now I'm sure that Sarah will call the whole thing off (the camping, not the pregnancy), and part of me hopes she will. My caveman instinct, to lock her in the house for nine months so nothing can harm the pregnancy, is hard to overcome.

  • PUSH: Shelter from the Storm

    When she returned, I was stunned. This was not my wife. She looked like a completely different person -- a ragged, angry specter with little tributaries of spit in the corners of her mouth. And I was told quietly, but in no uncertain terms, not to use the words "hot dog" again.

  • Is It Okay to Ride on ATV's during Pregnancy?

  • Will it be Harmful to Race During Pregnancy?

    QUESTION

    Dear Fitness Expert,
    I am a competitive cyclist. Would it be harmful to carry on training during pregnancy with the intention of racing soon after (and perhaps before) giving birth?

    I have been training regularly for 3 years now and before that I used to run long distance so my body is well used to hard sessions.
