Recently, a woman in Los Angeles has received criticism for doing Crossfit training while pregnant. Should pregnant women be weightlifting?

What exercise did you do while pregnant?

Pregnant women can do what they want to stay healthy (10.0%)

Mild weightlifting can be ok if doctor approves (80.0%)

No way, it could trigger early labor or hurt the baby (10.0%)

    The key to any exercising or training should be with doctor approval. If a woman is physically active before pregnancy, then she should be able to safely maintain some sort of physical activity during pregnancy. I don't think anyone would recommend taking up a physically demanding activity during pregnancy if there has been no previous experience.
