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.
-
Yep! I used to be one of them!
-
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.
-
Yes, I was one!
-
I see a few. I'm pretty sure one of the ladies in my body pump class tonight was pregnant.
-
yup! It gave me motivation, that's for sure, lol.
-
Yep!!! I stare at their cute bumps when they're walking around. ha ha.
-
I didn't go while pregnant.
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!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.
-
I see myself, haha! I think I've only seen one noticeably pregnant woman at the gym.
-
Very very rarely. I worked out til 8 months pregnant with Charlie and was always the only pregnant woman at the gym.
-
No. Although I don't (a) go to a big gym, or (b) go very often myself.
-
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.
-
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 : )
-
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.
-
@cyneswith: what a cool pregnancy work out! have fun!
-
Nope. Probably because I'm never at the gym
-
@Andrea: LOL. 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.
Then I get off the machine and BAM everyone is STARING. It cracks me up. -
@pastemoo: it is weird how I don't see any preggos at the gym - maybe they do not want to be stared at!
-
@Andrea: maybe not? or they're tired?
