Spotting after weight lifting??

Question

Has anyone else had trouble with pink spotting after lifting weights?? It wasn’t anything super heavy, just squats and deadlifts with nothing more than 40lbs. I’m 12 weeks tomorrow but this is my first attempt at lifting weights while pregnant since my first couple weeks. I lifted before pregnancy several times a week. Just wondering if anyone else has had similar issues. Dr said I could lift if I felt ok doing so 🤷🏼‍♀️😬

Answer

Have you had an ultrasound yet? One of the causes of this bleeding could be a low placenta, you need to let your doctor know

Answer

Any time I did squats early in pregnancy I spotted afterward. They weren’t even weighted squats! But every time they checked me for it, they said everything was totally fine, I just have a sensitive cervix. It was definitely nerve wracking each time though!

Answer

I would personally decrease the weigh as this could be from strain but see where you are at.   I have a good friend who lifted her whole pregnancy with light spotting every time.   If you become crampy or it becomes more red call doc immediately.

Answer

If you were lifting the weights (or any exercise) before you were pregnant then it’s safe to continue to do so. 
You might just be spotting, if it continues or gets heavier you should see a DR

Answer

You are pregnant and i think now baby safety is more imprtent then gym. It’s very early and your body have now a lot to do, with this baby making, don’t push too much. Beceaus lost of baby It’s something You defenetly don’t want to deal with.

Answer

Uh, I have always read that lifting anything over 15 lbs is a no-no.

Answer

The same thing happened to me after exercising. My doctor told me to not lift more than 20 pounds.
