Is weightlifting safe during pregnancy?

Question

I used to do gym regularly before and was lifting decent weights. Now im 9 weeks and not sure if i should continue or stop completely. Anyone here kept lifting during pregnancy?

My pregnancy tracker app says light weight training is fine if you were doing it pre-pregnancy, but heavy lifting is a big no. Better to track your heart rate and keep it moderate.

Heavy weights toh bilkul avoid karo haan na. Mere ghar pe sab simple walking hi bolte hain. Safe rehna sabse acha hai.

Vijaya Bajaj · Answer

Haan, heavy cheezein uthana toh strictly avoided hai na pregnancy mein. Ghar pe bhi sab mana karte hain. Normal light walking hi sabse best hai.

Please don't lift any heavy weights, it's not worth the risk. Having gone through a miscarriage earlier, I feel we should be super careful. Better to ask your gynac first.

Amrutha Parikh · Answer

With my PCOS history, I was extremely cautious and didn't want to take any chances. I avoided weightlifting completely and stuck to walking. Don't do it unless your gynac gives a clear go-ahead.
