Your Turn

Should you be lifting weights while pregnant? The woman above has been getting a whole lot of grief for posting these photos online. She has two other kids and worked out during their pregnancies too, but not to this extent.

Sugar said...: Is she pregnant with triplets? I see 3 bumps. . .; 10:02 AM
Pip said...: VIP, I love you for that gif!; 10:03 AM
Orvilla Bedinbacher said...: ahh,it's always nice to see Kathleen Turner! thanks @vip; 10:03 AM
hromaki said...: I don't see a problem with lifting weights in a reasonable, moderate manner, appropriate to the mother's fitness level, but geez, no one wants to see all that extra flesh. It's just too much.; 10:04 AM
Orvilla Bedinbacher said...: why is she weight lifting? i thought when you were preggers you just eat ice cream and pickles, go to your lamaze class, relish in your big lips & big boobs, give bjs to your man, and read US.

right??!!; 10:07 AM
Rolf said...: Why not? I don't see a hint of a problem. If she likes the workout and the pregnancy isn't disturbed: Go on, lift those weights!; 10:13 AM
Topper Madison said...: No. Pregnant women are incredibly fragile and shouldn't be allowed to get out of a soft, well-padded bed with side supports because, you know, they might damage the baby if they tried to live normally; and as we all know, the unborn baby is also extremely fragile and THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THE WORLD.

Good lord. My great-great-grandmother had a baby in a covered wagon on the prairie while they were migrating to a homestead. No doctors or pain medication or Jungle Jam Swaddle Sets anywhere nearby.; 10:14 AM
NomNom83 said...: That's between her and her doctor.; 10:14 AM
Unknown said...: I believe the common wisdom is that whatever you were doing before you are pregnant activity wise, within reason, I doubt I'd be out playing ladies rugby, you should be able to do after getting pregnant, as long as you are feeling good, the activity does not bother you though I would run it by the doctor just in case

if you were not active before getting pregnant and now freaking out about losing the baby weight later you really have to proceed with caution; 10:14 AM
Meatros said...: I suppose that I'm just incredibly wrong that I find it funny that the picture has her with a snatch grip on the bar.

That said, as long as she's not doing ME training or anything like that, she should be fine.; 10:16 AM
Tru Leigh said...: I took an aerobics class once. (If you could see me, you'd laugh at that statement). The instructor was pregnant and said she couldn't do any abdominal work based the 4th month. Otherwise, she was as gung-ho as ever. But we didn't lift weights.; 10:19 AM
Count Jerkula said...: I found out recently that the Hulk likes anal. NSFW; 10:22 AM
Count Jerkula said...: If any dudes want to dress up as a believable chick for Halloween, here is a how to guide. NFSW; 10:24 AM
Lil P said...: Don't wanna be a hater but all the pregnant "princesses" at my work have gotten drs to write them off early before their mat leave would start for issues like unable to sleep. Like that's going to improve after you have the baby??? We are office workers too not like we have physical factory work to do either. I always think of people like your great great grandmother and wonder how'd they do it?; 10:27 AM
AKM said...: Your LIPS get bigger when you're pregnant?! What what?!; 10:30 AM
auntliddy said...: Well I wouldnt. Most likely baby will be fine but if not she will have to live with results. I think she may b addicted to exercise tho.; 10:33 AM
madeinbrzil said...: i think she needs to rethink her workout attire; 10:36 AM
Kelly said...: My doctor told me light upper body only. He didn't recommend core or lower body. IDK if that's true, but that's been 10 years ago now.; 10:40 AM
rajahcat said...: up to her and her dr; 10:50 AM
__-__=__ said...: I believe she proves most doctors are FOS.; 11:01 AM
Seven of Eleven said...: The writer of the criticizing article also said: "While you're short of breath your baby is being deprived of oxygen - something you would wish to avoid at all costs."

No heavy breathing, pregnant ladies!; 11:11 AM
Little Broken Bird said...: If you are used to doing that kind of exercise its probably fine, if you run a lot out or work out you'll be able to carry on at the same level for a while at least. She's not smoking, eating macdonals or taking drugs, give her break.; 11:14 AM
mell61 said...: I heard a doctor once say its called 'labour' for a reason, you need to be fit and healthy for it.
I can't see a problem with it, women carry babies, they don't need to be babied!; 11:21 AM
Cecilia00 said...: I'll add to those who say she should consult her doctor and go by their advice.; 11:36 AM
MrsPMFU said...: I feel like weighing in on this since I'm about to give birth to my second kid in a few weeks. She's not hurting herself or the baby. Her OB has cleared her so it's strictly her business. Glad to see she's not drinking Big Gulps and eating McD's fries while watching daytime TV using pregnancy as an excuse.

Also, AKM, yes, your lips do get bigger during pregnancy! Mine are definitely bigger right now, and I'll be super sad when they go away after I have this baby :); 11:41 AM
urban chaos said...: Eh, considering how many people in crossfit have bad form and rep to failure/puke (thus pukey the clown as their embraced mascot) it wouldn't be my first choice.
Her overhead squat freaked me out more for a balance issue than anything.

But her body, her choice.; 11:44 AM
Samantha M. said...: @Count, I use "super glue" every week doing my nails. Unless that was a gel formula, it would run right down that fake crease and seal his ass shut. Though maybe that's in panel 6. Impressive tuck game, though. You've got to want it.

As far as the weightlifting lady, I wonder if things she experiences during exercise are experienced by the fetus? An increased heart rate, blood flow, endorphins? Maybe the same thing happens during pregnant sex? Just speculating, I don't know.; 12:04 PM
Mag said...: It's her life and her business.; 1:21 PM
Unknown said...: Omg yes! U love serial mom!!! Well anything John Waters really
VIP will you marry me? We can solve blinds together and set the world on FIRE; 1:45 PM
Unknown said...: *I love serial mom... Yeesh; 1:45 PM
Unknown said...: Every pregnancy is different..so I dont think people should judge if someone is working out or lying on their ass during the whole pregnancy..; 2:01 PM
Unknown said...: Every pregnancy is different..so I dont think people should judge if someone is working out or lying on their ass during the whole pregnancy..; 2:18 PM
Anonymous said...: Nothing to do with pregnancy but does anyone remember that lifter who squatted heavy weights and his anus prolapsed?? That's enough right there to make me never lift :); 2:59 PM
Brenda L said...: bflogurl....OH NO I had almost forgotten!!!; 4:39 PM
MadLyb said...: Fuck judgmental people. She's probably worked herself into good enough shape in-between pregnancies to handle it.; 7:53 PM
Anonymous said...: Ha ha ha Count! Green peen & manginas! Bless!; 8:06 PM
Anonymous said...: Women used to scrub floors on their hands and knees, and continued with as much physical activity as their pregnancy would allow. Apparently women now are so sedentary and spend more time resting than working, that the labour's aren't as easy due to the babies not being positioned etc. I have no idea. I'll find out when it's my turn I guess.; 10:21 PM
Leo said...: Proposal gone wrong.; 12:29 AM
Leo said...: That's an interesting hobby you have there; 12:33 AM
Count Jerkula said...: Oh, Rach. A woman on her hands and knees scrubbing is almost as hot as a woman using a mop. Rope, not sponge, and if a woman tries using a Swiffer, that is a deal breaker.; 4:04 AM
Anonymous said...: She doesnt look that ripped,but stiiiilll.....maybe she shouldnt push and lift tooo hard? Why chance it?; 6:22 PM
