No. People stare at me a lot. At 39 weeks, I go in and just walk or bike now, but I used to do more. It's funny becuase from behind people can't tell and just think--she's SLOW.<br /> Then I get off the machine and BAM everyone is STARING. It cracks me up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-see-pregnant-women-at-the-gym#post-156353 Fri, 11 May 2012 21:17:07 +0000 heffalump 156353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Probably because I'm never at the gym </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-see-pregnant-women-at-the-gym#post-156179 Fri, 11 May 2012 16:34:15 +0000 Andrea 156179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyneswith: what a cool pregnancy work out! have fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-see-pregnant-women-at-the-gym#post-156175 Fri, 11 May 2012 16:30:32 +0000 cyneswith 156175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm the first pregnant lady at my bellydance studio! (The gyms around here have draconian contracts, and the studio does NOT.) The owner was so excited - she's been looking forward to having a pregnant dancer since they opened. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-see-pregnant-women-at-the-gym#post-156163 Fri, 11 May 2012 16:18:59 +0000 winniebee 156163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to see a few pregnant women at my gym, but not many (lots of young singles at my gym!) I was one of them, until 30w when I got put on bedrest. Now that I have resumed normal activities (38w), I won't be going....going to go on some walks instead : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-see-pregnant-women-at-the-gym#post-156152 Fri, 11 May 2012 16:10:48 +0000 MamaMoose 156152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. But we go to a family YMCA so there's always lots of moms and kids and pregnant women. We have pools and a walking track so probably more low intensity/pregnancy-friendly work out options than your typical gym. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-see-pregnant-women-at-the-gym#post-156129 Fri, 11 May 2012 15:42:23 +0000 MsLipGloss 156129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. Although I don't (a) go to a big gym, or (b) go very often myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-see-pregnant-women-at-the-gym#post-155088 Thu, 10 May 2012 22:52:00 +0000 Mrs. Bee 155088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very very rarely. I worked out til 8 months pregnant with Charlie and was always the only pregnant woman at the gym. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-see-pregnant-women-at-the-gym#post-155083 Thu, 10 May 2012 22:42:16 +0000 Minnie_Girl 155083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I see myself, haha! I think I've only seen one noticeably pregnant woman at the gym. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-see-pregnant-women-at-the-gym#post-155059 Thu, 10 May 2012 22:06:14 +0000 Mrs. Pen 155059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't go while pregnant.<br /> I had one friend who was doing the crazy cardio classes while 38-39 weeks pregnant, trying to induce labor. I soo could not have done that. I tried doing a dance video at home, and it kept making the baby push down between my legs and it was soo uncomfortable and heavy I could only do 15 minutes before it hurt too much!</p> <p>There was a lady in my latin hip hop (like zumba) class a couple weeks ago who looked pretty pregnant - but she looked awesome doing the class. I was totally jealous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-see-pregnant-women-at-the-gym#post-155055 Thu, 10 May 2012 22:03:24 +0000 MrsLilybugg 155055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep!!! I stare at their cute bumps when they're walking around. ha ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-see-pregnant-women-at-the-gym#post-155017 Thu, 10 May 2012 21:44:42 +0000 hilsy85 155017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yup! It gave me motivation, that's for sure, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-see-pregnant-women-at-the-gym#post-155010 Thu, 10 May 2012 21:42:16 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 155010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I see a few. I'm pretty sure one of the ladies in my body pump class tonight was pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-see-pregnant-women-at-the-gym#post-155008 Thu, 10 May 2012 21:41:32 +0000 autumnlove 155008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I was one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-see-pregnant-women-at-the-gym#post-154901 Thu, 10 May 2012 20:39:58 +0000 chrispygal 154901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I see myself. lol. I will admit though that I go less often than I used to and as I get further along, it is definitely more challenging. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-see-pregnant-women-at-the-gym#post-154894 Thu, 10 May 2012 20:37:11 +0000 chopsuey 154894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! I used to be one of them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-see-pregnant-women-at-the-gym#post-154890 Thu, 10 May 2012 20:36:28 +0000 Andrea 154890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was at the gym and randomly realized that I never see any pregnant ladies at the gym. I think I only went to the gym a few times while pregnant myself. I opted to take walks, do prenatal workout DVDs, and we have an elliptical machine at home. </p>
