Working out while pregnant ???

Question

I'm not afraid of labor but I'm defiantly afraid of  gaining too much weight during pregnancy . I'm pretty active now and workout 6 days out the week. At this point I would honestly give up anything to get pregant, but I'm curious to find out how much is too much working out during pregnancy or the what type of workouts to avoid. Thoughts???

Answer

Every pregnancy is different and everyone's doctor will tell you different things based on your pregnancy. I am almost 18 weeks and my doctor told me walking and swimming. You can't do to much stomach/core workouts and you should lift either. I would talk to your doctor!

Answer

Everyone and every pregnancy are different. The best thing to do is ask your dr. He/she will know what's best for your particular situation. I wouldn't give up working out now. It's probably  helping things more than hurting them. had a friend that did crossfit her entire pregnancy. It's a fact that being active and healthy and staying fit during pregnancy are beneficial for both you and the baby. Exercising can help with backaches, bloating constipation; can improve mood and relieve stress and will lower your chances of developing gestational diabetes. Labor and delivery and recovery will also most likely be easier as well. A good rule of thumb to remember is if you didn't do it before you were pregnant it's not the time to start. But if you're working out 6 days/week not it'll probably be ok to continue as long as you don't have a high risk pregnancy.
