Yesterday I found myself googling something, but I can’t remember what. It was something along the lines of whether something was safe to do during the TWW. Any time you google this kind of material, you will end up reading threads from regular people and not medical professionals. It’s a lot of “I heard this” and “someone told me that” kind of stuff.

Anyway, what caught my eye was a post about someone wanting to stretch. Stretch, you may ask? Yes, stretch. It went something like, “I heard you can’t stretch during the TWW. What do I do? I really need to stretch!” I started laughing. Preposterous! How absurd! And then I saw someone’s response, which went like, “Oh, that’s horrible. I’m so sorry. Have you tried stretching one body part at a time? Try doing each leg one at a time, then do the arms.”

I still don’t know what they were talking about! Stretching like when you wake up in the morning or stretching for the gym? Either way, how is this bad? So then, of course, I start racking my brain. Have I been stretching? If so, has it harmed my potential pregnancy? What else have I been doing that I shouldn’t be doing?

It’s posts like these that remind me about why I decided not to google this time. I had to put down the phone and resume my regular activities. My understanding it that I can do anything I want within reason. Our doctor said no crazy twisting in the ovaries area. Specifically, no spin class and no flips while swimming. That wasn’t going to happen anyway!

I’m almost through week one of the TWW. Reaching the halfway mark is always excellent because we’re that much closer to knowing. Tuesday would be the most common implantation day, so let’s all hope and pray that something is fertilized and decides to stick this time! In the meantime, I will not be doing the twist!!
