    Pregnant cross fit.

    This is just a discussion thread. I have never been pregnant and I think its OK for pregnant women to work out but i'm not sure I think this type of work is OK.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUcHa...eature=related

    not sure what you take from pubmed articles (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15773861)

    Effects of intense training during and after pregnancy in top-level athletes.
    Kardel KR. Source

    Department of Nutrition, Faculty of Medicine, University of Oslo, PO Box 1046, Blindern, N-0316 Oslo, Norway. k.r.kardel@medisin.uio.no
    Abstract

    This study investigates the effects of vigorous exercise during and after pregnancy in top competitive athletes. The hypothesis tested here is that training of sufficiently high volume during pregnancy can maintain initial fitness levels. A second hypothesis, that high-volume training during pregnancy in initially fit women does not pose a health risk for the mother or the fetus, was tested and found to hold in a prior report. The overall aim of the study was to define a safe training regime for the maintenance of fitness in top-level female athletes during pregnancy. Forty-one healthy athletes who had performed exercise regularly prior to conception were followed from gestational week 17 until 12 weeks postpartum while they performed standardized exercise programs. The subjects participated either in a high-volume exercise group (HEG, n=20, 8.4 h week(-1)) or in a medium-volume exercise group (MEG, n=21, 6 h week(-1)). The results show that well-trained women can benefit substantially from training at high volumes during an uncomplicated pregnancy. This can facilitate a rapid return to competitive athletics and physically active life after pregnancy. Guidelines for safe exercise by sufficiently fit women during pregnancy could be modeled on the high-volume exercise regime used here by the HEG.

    Not really a fan. I did weight lifting until 40 weeks, I'm certainly not against it at all. However, there were some things I saw that made me think, "is that really worth it?" ... ie. doing a clean and then dropping the bar down a few inches in front of the belly.

    I don't know, I suppose I am biased as my mom hit her stomach when moving houses, placenta abrupted, and he died directly as a result at 8 months gestation. That's a little too close to home for me, iykwim?

    Aren't all the joints around the pelvic region looser than normal when a woman is pregnant?

    Oh, wow. That's terrible.

    I agree with you. I kept up my modified gym routine as long as I could with my second pregnancy but no way was I going to risk anything. I didn't (can't) watch the video but I do know crossfit is pretty intense. Probably too intense for pregnancy, IMO.

    They loosen over the course of the pregnancy, yes.

    It's also very dangerous to raise your heart rate, blood pressure and core temperature too high while pregnant.

    knowing CrossFitters, they're probably competing over who can induce their baby to pop out first and do some farmers walks or something LOL

    I LOVE Crossfit and I have been doing it for 3x a week for over a year. I am also a mom and have been pregnant with 2 kids. I would NEVER do Crossfit pregnant, EVER. I think that is just asking for trouble. There are way too many jerky movements. Why risk that?

    I don't know. There's some risk in everything.

    Some people are natural-born risk takers. I didn't cross-fit while pregnant, but I did roller-blade, surf, snowboard and rockclimb right up until delivery. People thought I was nuts.

    There is a website called Crossfit Moms that has a WOD for pregnant ladies, with instructions for how to modify for each trimester. I did that regularly with this last pregnancy, until I got too big and tired. I wish I had continued to work out consistently during late pregnancy, as I ended up putting on more weight than I'd like (~10 lbs more than the other two), but I listened to my body and did what felt right at the time.

    I worked out hard up to my delivery date with my first (kettlebells and steadystate cardio), and did a modified starting strength workout with my second (even cleans), so I think that each pregnancy is different. Women should listen to their bodies and talk to their doctors -- if Crossfit is something they're comfortable with and they have a solid base and a plan for modification, then I don't think it's a bad thing at all. Of course, if the American College of OBGYNs came out tomorrow with an article that says, "Pregnant ladies risk having three headed children if they do anything more strenuous than walk around the block", I'd listen -- because I'm not a doctor.

    There's an excellent book you can read called "Exercising through your pregnancy" by James Clapp. Highly recommend it for an explanation of everything to do with training and being pregnant!
