Is it safe to run while pregnant?

On the latest publishes, Time Magazine’s Healthland blog posted an interesting item called 5 Pregnancy Taboos Explained (or Exposed) it has got to the bottom concerning certain pregnancy NOT as coffee and travel by plane. Even with the support and empirical evidence from the medical community, however, some expectant mothers refuse to deviate from the age-old guidelines.
Not all women agree, however. WNBC’s Glenn Zimmerman went to Central Park to meet an expectant mother and former marathon runner who is full of determination on keeping with her active running regimen, even while seven-months-pregnant. And she’s not alone.
