I've been very active since my 20s, completing 6 marathons and over 2 dozen half marathons while lifting 2 to 3x a week. I ran all through my first pregnancy, including a 6 mile run before my water broke, and am in my second trimester with my second. I am running a half marathon next week at 21 weeks and again at 25 weeks.
My father in law expressed concerns about my races, saying he doesn't think I should do them and what will happen to my baby. I said I've run 10 to 11 mile runs 3x a week for the entire time I've been pregnant, baby and I will be fine. We moved on after that because it was a quick pick-up situation.
But then my mother in law sent a text message to my husband asking more about it and asking if he should talk me out of it. My husband reiterated what I shared and said he's not concerned about it then stopped responding to her follow up messages.
How are you all handling this kind of feedback. It's coming from a place of love and concern, but it's an old-school mindset.
