    A few months ago, I went to the gym but wasn't particularly motivated and had convinced myself that instead of squats/deadlifts I'd do various machines. Then I saw a woman who looked 8 months and 29 days pregnant squatting. I figured her excuses were so much more legitimate than my own that I had to go back to my harder workout after all.

    I think it's great and posted about this earlier on my wall.

    IMO people need to mind there own business. I'm assuming she's lifted for a long time prior to getting pregnant, is paying closer attention to her body and adjusts workouts as needed. In which case, she's doing something very good for her body, and no doubt giving herself an easier labour when the time comes.

    Some people have medical reasons/complications in which they may need to stop, she obviously doesn't as she's got this far along. Good for her! :drinker:

    Oh my lawdy, I wish I had looked that good with either of my pregnancies! Good for her. She knows her limitations, people need to mind their own business.

    Women turn catty and jealous when they see another woman who is more awesome. Stop the presses.

    You know most of the people criticizing her are overweight moms who used pregnancy as an excuse to eat for 6 and turn into couch potatoes. Throwing stones at this woman is just their attempt at making themselves feel better about what they've done to themselves.

    I saw that story and I think it's good if she wants to stay healthy! Her Dr is fine with it and she has modified it so its not like she going over board. Hats off to her IMO!!! :flowerforyou:

    Amen to her! I think its empowering to see a woman that pregnant working out. Makes my excuses not to work out completely invalid! And yes, to all of the above. People need to mind their own business.

    As long as her doctor gave her the go-ahead, I don't see what's wrong with it.
    Everyone's bought into the myth that we need to lie down and eat ice cream for 9 months....CAUSE IF YOU MOVE A SINGLE MUSCLE YOU'LL MISCARRY AND YOU'LL JUST BE SOME FIT BABY KILLA! :explode:

    "Normal" pregnant women lift all kinds of things -- heavy bags of groceries, squirming 60 pound children, strollers loaded with both heavy groceries and children -- and no one seems to think it's odd.

    You said it right! LOL! She looks great and should inspire many.

    If I ever get pregnant again, I hope to be lifting through the entire thing as long as the Dr. isn't an idiot and gives me the go-ahead.
