Black Belt Mama

Yeah! Congratulations! I continued with karate while pregnant with my second baby up until 36 weeks. I just couldn't kick anymore. You'll find that your body moves much differently once you start to really get a belly on you and that after having the baby, it takes a while to sort of relearn those moves again. Your joints get so much more flexible and loose when pregnant that you sort of have to reign things in again once the baby is born. Oh, and you'll also need a bigger obi eventually. ;-)

I'm looking forward to the pregnant karate posts and am glad you're feeling better. The first three months are rough. Just prepare yourself for the last three because they are exhausting too.
