A member asked:

I have been a runner since i was 12, but since becoming pregnant, my sides hurt after any run that is 3+ miles. is this normal, or should i stop?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Side pain: In pregnancy, all things possible. Don't run if it hurts. Wait until you're done with it. Chances are it will go back to "normal".
