Eight Months of Pregnancy

Alisha says: Getting pregnant was the most difficult part of this pregnancy, once I was pregnant it was mostly smooth sailing. I didn't experience much morning sickness and only threw up once (might have been a combination of being pregnant and car sickness). I was able to continue exercising the whole time I was expecting. I mostly continued to ride my road bike 20-25 miles daily. I also continued to mountain bike on the easier trails up until 32 weeks and then we also did an occasional hike or walk and I tried to do yoga at least three times a week. Total biking/hiking mileage during this pregnancy was around 2,500 miles. Although I could see the changes happening to my body throughout the whole pregnancy it really wasn't until 25 weeks when I really started showing. I gained an average amount of weight around 23 pounds. Pregnancy is different for everyone, this was just my experience. I think I just experienced a lot of rough times going through IVF that I got lucky to have a fairly easy pregnancy.
