I do aquacize classes, and I do get some chatting up in the change room and stuff, but mostly just general pregnancy stuff (like when are you due, how are you feeling, is this your first etc)

I love aquacize, it is super relaxing, and your body is so well supported by the water, it really helps with the aches and pains and stuff. I do get some "bump bounce" in the water if we are doing really bouncy activities, so I just modify, or hold my bump with my arms and skip the arm part of the exercise.

I don't belong to a gym but I belong to a pilates/yoga studio where I take classes several times a week. The teachers have all been so patient and helpful (many of them worked out during their own pregnancies), and fellow students have told me they wish they had worked out when they were pregnant because it was hard to get back into shape after their LO's arrived. I'm glad I'm going but now that I'm approaching my 3rd trimester, I don't know how much longer I'll be able to go! I think working out during pregnancy is great though, and it's great that you're doing it!

I didn't get any comments at the gym until my belly was very clearly a baby bump. Prior to that, I got a lot of looooong glances - I think people were trying to figure out if I was pregnant or just carried all of my fat in my belly Once I was obviously pregnant, I got a lot of encouraging comments from women.

I used to walk on the treadmill when I was pregnant. No one ever said anything to me about my pregnancy. :T

I didn't get comments but did get stares. I did weights up to 8 months. The muscle head guys in the weight room were freaked out a bit by the belly, older women all had encouraging smiles and the under 25 women all clearly thought I was gross. Whatever. I didn't care

Lol- I can't help staring at the pregnant ladies at my gym. I take a step class, and seeing them just givin' er whilst I'm huffing and puffing it is just amazing.

@pastemoo: She said she got it from BRU, but it was a year or two earlier so they probably don't have it anymore. But it gave me hope in finding a cute, usable bag.
And in an interesting bit of irony, when I was walking into the gym yesterday, I cut across the parking lot in front of a couple. I had my coat open so my belly was visible. And I heard a faint "wolf whistle" from behind me and then the lady asked the guy "what was that for?"
For my own pride, I'm going to assume that he finds pregnant ladies sexy, and not that it was a sarcastic wolf whistle.
