During my pregnancies my dr told me to continue doing what I was used to doing. You will just have to see how your body adjusts. If your body is used to the rotation hopefully it will continue being okay. 4 weeks is pretty early. I never told until I was 12 weeks or more.

I would have to agree with the post above. If you are already use to doing it you should be able to keep up with it for a while. Just take the cues from your own body. Good luck and Congradulations:balloons:
