Q: I have heard you are not supposed to get “overheated” when you are pregnant. I’m not sure what this exactly means as I have continued to go to the gym and get quite heated during my workouts. Can you help me with this?
Q. I’m only 5-months pregnant but already I’m finding that my knees are tender when I’m trying to do my normal workouts, and my lower back is getting achy more often. I don’t want to stop working out, but want to make sure I’m not doing any permanent damage. What do you recommend?
Q. I noticed during my pregnancy that I lost my balance a number of times. Since having my baby, I still don’t feel as stable. Why is this, and what can be done about it?
Q. Since being pregnant, I have found that I am far more susceptible to colds and flu that are going around. While I understand it’s from a lowered immune system, I would like to know if there is anything I can take safely for cold symptoms other than a humidifier and Vicks Vapour-Rub. I am very nervous about venturing into over-the-counter medications; however, I am losing a lot of sleep and am in some discomfort too.
Q. I try to drink water throughout the day but don’t really consume that much. Now that I’m pregnant, do I really need to force myself even when I’m not thirsty?
