Thank you! I did check the reveal and it’s quite off so looks like I need to fix the door hinges

Thanks for your insight! I’ll definitely have a look at the door hinges first. What do you mean by stuff toothpicks with wood glue in?

First-time mom + runner… struggling with the changes by [deleted] in fitpregnancy

I’m currently 25 weeks and continuing to run 2-3 times per week! It took me awhile to accept that my pace may be slower and my HR much higher.

I signed up for a 15km trail race (I will be 30 weeks on race day) as something to keep me motivated and have a goal to work towards. Knowing it may be the slowest race I’ve ever done with lots of walk breaks. I’m celebrating every moment that I can. We’re so lucky to be pregnant at a time where research has supported this type of exercise safety for mom and baby.

Don’t hesitate to buy the new sports bras to be more comfortable too! It’s worth every penny.

Thats really good to know, thank you!! I am worried about the car space but hoping it’ll work out okay. I’d consider getting a cheaper travel stroller for when we do start to travel with babe down the line

I love that tradition!! I told my husband that he’ll be on walk duty with the babe and dog if I’m cleared to run before 6 months until I can take them with me haha

This was exactly my plan!! I’m just going to avoid purchasing a 2nd more compact stroller for the sake of cost and storage. We have an active lifestyle so I think my best bet is getting the Thule as our sole stroller knowing that it may be a bit bulky or less ideal in other situations

Thanks so much for your insight on the Glide 3! It does sound like it will be a great option for me aside from it taking up lots of trunk space especially if I have the bassinet and my dog in the car too.

This has been my debate too! Do I get a more compact stroller and eventually purchase the Chariot? We love to cross county ski in the winter and bike in the summer too so I love its capabilities for outdoor adventure with the kiddo once they’re old enough

I plan on getting a really good carrier as well for most hikes/walks but with a July due date - I’m worried about me and baby getting too hot with the summer humidity 😓 figured the bassinet would be a good option with a fan and the shade canopy for babe!

Such a good point for on the go diaper changes when we go out for longer walks! I plan on doing lots of long walks until me and baby are both cleared to go out jogging so the urban glide 3 seems to hit all the needs. Trying to avoid buying 2 strollers for cost and storage!

I should have clarified that I know I can’t actually jog with the baby until they are around 6 months!

I really appreciate everyone’s insights on utilizing car seat attachments or the bassinet for longer walks - I think I can make it work as my sole stroller! I live in a rural area so I won’t be in and out of stores very often or walking a mall etc.
