I am already 6 months pregnant!We are very happy and excited with our baby girl coming in the next few months!
At the same time I am very excited to share with all you about my training during this important time where my body has been stolen :) by our beautiful girl.
I hear all the time..... Be careful, do not do this, do not do that, you are crazy, how about your joints and the weight, etc, etc, etc....
I agree with all of you! This is a very important time and all pregnant women should be more aware of their body and how every thing makes you feel. That is the reason why I am training the way I am.
Before my pregnancy I was training with 16 to 48 kilo kettlebells, Deadlifting 240 pounds and running a few miles just to mention a few of the activities I was doing.
At this time all my routines are based on full body conditioning. I use 12 kilo kettlebells and various body weights exercises.
I push myself but I keep the training at a comfortable level that are safe for my joints.
Also the good news for me is that my doctors are very open minded and have encouraged me to continue with my training routines ( using common sense of course)
I encourage all women to train during their pregnancy IF, and a very big IF it is, if they were previously training prior to getting pregnant and they have total permission from their OBGYN. If you are out of shape and have no history of training, pregnancy is not the time to start training. Ideally you would have started training months or even years before pregnancy.

Oh, I love it! God bless you two! ...I mean THREE :p
Keeping up the conditioning should help with your labor and with recovery after. I didn't keep up with it and it takes a lot longer to "catch up" afterwards.
I couldn't agree with you more. My kids are now 14 and 11 (how did that happen?!) and I ran and lifted weights during both pregnancies, because that's what I'd done BEFORE pregnancy. You're smart to be careful about your joints, because they get hyper-mobile during pregnancy (all part of God's plan!), but listening to your body is the best thing you can do.
Hooray for pregnancy! Hooray for training!
