Safe weights for working out??

Question

I've been lifting weights for years, and now that I'm pregnant I've reduced the weight I use by a lot. Friends and family get on me about how I should be doing body weight only (they don't work out) and I feel like I know what I'm doing. Doc says it's fine. Just wondering if any of you still work out and if so, what do you do and what don't you do?

Answer

I'm a personal training that specialises in pre and post natal exercise. It's safe to continue what you were doing before and you were right to reduce weights. The best way is to continue your fitness regime higher reps and low weights. It's not necessary to only do body weight. Unless you've done no exercise previous to becoming pregnant. Hope this helps

Answer

I'm 16w2d and still lifting almost as much weight as I was when I found out I was pregnant. I have tapered back some and plan to taper back more once I really start showing. I'm just listening to my body and want to make sure I have a strong core, legs, back and arms for the rest of my pregnancy and for after the baby his born. If your body is conditioned to it, which it sounds like it is, just keep doing what feels right and comfortable for you.

Answer

I know lots of gals who continue working out, do Crossfit, etc. As long as you've got the ok by your dr, you're fine ❤️

Answer

I've been told by several people in the medical field, including my doctor, to continue doing what I was doing before I got pregnant minus contact sports (I play roller derby). Including weight lifting and cardio. Your body will tell you if something is not right.

Answer

I'm having the same issue I've been lifting heavy for 2 years or so and since I found out I was pregnant I stopped cuz I was scared and dk wuts safe or not safe.
