I run 3 times a week. I plan to get pregnant and stop the pill next week.

Hello, that is a very good question.

During pregnancy, jogging can be continued, if it is of moderate intensity and if you don't have any contraindications to the sport. An example of a moderate level of exercise; being able to carry on a conversation while running. The physician monitoring your pregnancy will be able to determine if physical activity is safe and determine the recommended level of physical activity based on your medical records.

So I suggest you discuss this with your doctor and make an appointment today to plan for a healthy pregnancy. By the way, it is advisable to start taking folic acid 3 months before conception, to avoid neural tube defects. So you can also discuss this with him, or even sooner go to your pharmacist to get a multivitamin.

For more information, I advise you to go and check out this link, on which there is a wealth of information on physical activity in pregnancy: https://naitreetgrandir.com/en/pregnancy/health-well-being/physical-activity-during-pregnancy/?gclid=Cj0KCQiA962BBhCzARIsAIpWEL2jIm8aHEt_erU_oEtOUsEXgsynpnQb88dQ3fPwbuxZfvkpGkH50F8aAnaQEALw_wcB
