How much walking is safe?

I was feeling good at week 11 day 4 and tried to be a smart Alec, went for a walk in the park. About 2.2km then I had red bleeding(that is like real red and filled up probably 1 panty liner) in the evening. So I immediately had my progestrone insert and thank God the bleeding subsided. Went in to see my doc the next day, thank god all is good. Doctor didn't say much about the cause of bleeding and advice for me to avoid sex for the moment. Now I am really scare of going on a walk again. Any advice from mum to be out there? How else do u all exercise in the safe way?

Hello mommy my doctor didn't encourage me to walk until certain week. Each pregnancy is different. Don't start walking long distance all of a sudden. You must progressively increase. Start with just 10 mins or 1 km and walk at a slow pace. It is just important to stay active doesn't mean u have to walk like doing a workout. Don't do any exercises now. Some mothers are advised not to walk or do any tiring activity and stay in bed rest throughout due to the nature of their pregnancy so try by walking short distance for a short time and see whether you got any problem if you are still bleeding better to go see your gynae and get clear advise/guidance. You can't be negligent at the same time no need to panic.
