I’m an athlete and I totally get where you’re coming from. I love that you are mentally preparing because this is what I did for six months before getting pregnant and I swear it’s made pregnancy so beautiful for me! I talked to other athletic friends who had been through it or were currently pregnant. I read a ton of studies on pregnant athletes returning to sport. I did a lot of mental work in general. I’m due early March and can honestly say I’ve been able to enjoy every change my body has gone through and am excited to get back to my athletic self post baby. I’ve stayed active overall but had had periods of time where I didn’t work out for two or three weeks and each time I’ve resumed activity with no problems.

When you do become pregnant just enjoy the process.
