I used to do gym regularly before and honestly I dont want to lose all my strength now. Im in 2nd trimester and feeling fine, but kinda confused if light weights are okay or I should just stop. Anyone still lifting?
Haan, lift kar sakte ho but limit me rehna chahiye na. Heavy cylinders or big water bottles toh bilkul touch mat karna, light exercises are fine if you are comfortable.
Generally light weights are totally fine if you don't have any complications, but please confirm once with your doctor first. Don't start any heavy lifting suddenly if your body isn't used to it.
My doctor explained that during pregnancy, our joints get looser because of a hormone called relaxin. So lifting heavy can cause injuries easily. Light weights are okay but only under expert guidance and after doctor's green light.
Actually yaar, I used to do basic dumbbell exercises till my second trimester. But my gynac had strictly told me not to lift anything heavy or strain myself. Just be careful and ask your doc once.
Look, if your pregnancy is normal and you were already doing weight training before, you can continue with lighter weights. But strictly avoid lifting very heavy stuff from the floor, it's just not worth the risk.
I used to panic even lifting a bucket of water in my first month! But honestly, my doctor reassured me that normal daily activities and light weights are perfectly fine as long as there is no pain or bleeding.
Arre, I can barely lift myself off the sofa right now in my 3rd trimester, lifting weights is a distant dream! Jokes apart, please ask your gynac before you try anything, everyone's body is different.
