My Motherhood journey Featured on June Motherhood 2013 - Adelynn Oei



On June issue of Motherhood

I think this is one of proudest moment of my life, to be featured on Motherhood Magazine. I always want to inspire people but never thought I was good enough to do it.

When I was asked to do the interview, and I didn't know what was going to be on the article. When I received the copies, I was beaming away.

It didn't get to me even that people whom I always talked over the phone , but never got to meet , could recognize me on the magazine. Then comments on my facebook got my attention , my friends were amazed with the fact I ran when I was pregnant.



I would like to thank my husband for he was the one whom encouraged me,when I was afraid of running and thought that something will happen to the little one. He told me because I used to run before I was pregnant, that is why my pregnant body could adapt to running.

I started with light jogs with my colleague and I was constantly worried. So I did a little research on my own.

Check out the following links with regards to running when pregnant.

With all those articles in mind, it boost my confidence, and on top of that , I have asked my gynae for advice. She told me that I could jog as long as I am not so out of breathe.


So I am glad that I completed that 10km marathon (with a bit of walking included), it was one of my greatest acheivement ever. I also hoped that my story could inspire other pregnant mothers whom are joggers before to continue jogging during their pregnancy.

However, do bear in mind that to consult your gynae before you start running. And when you are approaching your third trimester , you may want to do a fast walk instead . :)
