You should consult with your OBGYN pertaining to this where it concerns your pregnancy (aka medical related)0 -
You should talk with your doctor about it, and things may change over the course of your pregnancy.
I do know a friend of mine was doing CrossFit up to the week before she gave birth with her doctor's permission.0 -
I didn't know I was pregnant for an entire 8 months. I worked out 6 days a week. When I started feeling tired I would slow down or stop. I continued intense cardio workout mixed with yoga through my entire pregnancy without even knowing about the baby. I suggest you speak to your OB/GYN and listen to your body. Can't hurt to keep moving. It's healthy for you and baby! Congratulations!0
