Also, if you don't do crossfit you're required to post this ^ (I'm surprised it took so long actually).


I don't even CF anymore but there are some great things about the program.

I hate her accent, but she's pretty hot.

Crossfit chics are nuts.

On a real note, as long as she's been at that level of activity her entire pregnancy, she should be gtg.  It won't hurt her or her baby.

I would appreciate it if more gravid females stayed active and didn't gain 100#, at the point when I'm putting in their labor epidurals.

Pretty much this.

If anything, she's risking going into labor, but not so much miscarriage at 9 months along. And at that point the baby is full term, so delivery is ok. Perhaps not the most intelligent way to stay fit during pregnancy, but not worse than gaining the 100 pounds mentioned above.

A co-worker of mine ran a marathon (26.2 miles) while preggers.  Not nine months though.  Just a couple months with a small bump.

Baby is fine.


Some women do fine.  Others, not so much.  I know a lady who partially detached her placenta by... vacuuming.




My sister was helping her husband move furniture around one night.  Water broke a couple hours later and baby was born a little over a month early.  

Could have happened anyway but all I know is my mom was on the phone with her while she was talking about moving the furniture and told her not to do it.  You can imagine the conversation they had a few hours later.

There are a lot of benefits to staying active during pregnancy (so I hear ) but I'm still not convinced that type of straining/exertion is always harmless.  

Not to mention, I keep imagining that heavy bar slipping and hitting her belly.

That's the whole point though- if you've been doing it regularly before you were pregnant, then when you dial back the intensity- it's NOT "that kind of exertion".

For example. Lets say you saw my wife deadlift 200# while pregnant. It looks heavy! Holy shit! Yeah, that's less than 2/3 of her max and would barely take any exertion at all despite how it may appear.

Exertion is all relative.

Some women get fat when they're pregnant, and think they need to eat "for two" and end up weighing as much as two after the pregnancy as well.  My wife didn't do CF pregnant, but she was a ballet dancer.  Shit she could pretty much do anything up until she went into the hospital.  A couple of weeks later, she had a flat stomach again.  Then she did it again 3 years later.  I'm really glad she wasn't one of those women who uses this is an excuse to turn half-balloon.  Pregnant women need exercise.  Women evolved to go about daily life while pregnant, including running.  It's only recently they've turned into potatoes.

There was a woman at my gym who was doing CF into the 9th month.  She looked at me once and said, "what are you worried about me?"  Honestly, it did look a little scary, and a bit like the baby could pop out at any time.  But she stayed healthy and did great.  And she's back doing CF everyday.  Though everything has risk, it makes sense that some take the risks of exercise over the risks of becoming a fat ass.

That makes sense.  I'm just thinking along the lines of guidelines after surgery (usually abdominal surgeries) where they prohibit lifting anything over 2 pounds-----regardless of what shape they're in or what they're used to lifting.  Granted, pregnant ladies aren't as helpless as all that but there are still things that *can go pop* when they're not supposed to.  


ETA   I don't have a dog in this fight anyway.  Zero plans to be pregnant again.  Just opining.

This type of exercise for the average person offers no benefit. Heavy weight lifting and jerky jerky motions are not good for expectant mothers. If your a triathlete or training for some weightlifting completion, maybe. But this is a horrific cult mentality amongst crossfiters that's very scary.

Saying there's no benefit is just plain ignorant though.

Crossfit/ fitness is an addiction to some people, I am fine with pregnant ladies doing it if they get the ok from thier doctors.  But as I have seen firsthand many take it to an unhealthy level and do not dial down, My friends wife couldnt wait a couple weeks after her c-section to slowly get back into her workout routine and ended up re-ripping her abdoman muscles even after many attenpts my my friend and doctor telling here no cross-fit till she gets a doctors O.K. While not the same as a drug addiction there are many similair attributes of people who are fitness fanatics.

I've got three kids. In all three instances the OBGYN told my wives (2) both exes so can't post pics. That they could keep up the normal fitness routine they had already done. Which meant they could keep doing it at the level they were already at but not to start doing something hey hadn't been in shape for.

If this woman was doing crossfit before and was in great shape the doctor would have allowed her to continue unless complications arose.

In good shape = keep it up
In bad shape = don't start running marathons or crossfit just cause you got pregnant.

ROG go look at her tossing the medicine ball up in the air by the wall. if she doesn't catch it it's hitting her stomach. Lets sayd she was doing a push press, jerk, overhead squat loses balance because she is pregnant and the bar lands on her. Let's say she falls forward with weight and lands on her stomach. Just google some quick youtube videos I promise you all of those things can happen.

So ridiculously unlikely though...plus missing the ball (which is 10# BTW) or losing a lift safely is as easy as taking a step back. Also, she is probably more likely to trip and fall down the stairs.

I know hating on CF is the "cool" thing to do, but perhaps there's more risk in becoming completely unfit than there is in doing some moderate weight/conditioning training.

Have you considered the health benefits to baby and mother for staying in decent shape?

Don't make it sound like I'm saying staying fit and hot is more important than a baby. Not at all. I'm saying staying in shape is GOOD for the baby, if you're smart about it. Medical science tends to agree.

I bet if there's been a case of barbell impact killing a baby, there would have been a huge fuss about it (again, since hating CF is cool)...I've yet to ever hear of this happening.

Oly lifts, maybe not but I know quite a few that continue with CF at a lower intensity throughout their pregnancy. So far all have been better off for it.

So many in this thread are missing the point.  Its not that she can't do her cross fit while pregnant. She can- exercise is healthy when done in moderation.  The issue is whether or not its an appropriate risk to take with an unborn child.  So many things could go wrong while working out standing on her head, doing deadlifts, exerting herself, or whatever.  I think any sane person should see that what she's doing is taking an unneeded risk regardless of whether or not its her regular routine pregnant or not.

So many in this thread are missing the point.  Its not that she can't do her cross fit while pregnant. She can- exercise is healthy when done in moderation.  The issue is whether or not its an appropriate risk to take with an unborn child.  So many things could go wrong while working out standing on her head, doing deadlifts, exerting herself, or whatever.  I think any sane person should see that what she's doing is taking an unneeded risk regardless of whether or not its her regular routine pregnant or not.

Very much so. Worse than a vegan.

A vegan gluten-free crossfit instructor would be like one cult fad from critical mass.

Crossfit is like the polar opposite of Fight Club.

If you do Crossfit, you're REQUIRED to talk about it.

You're right.  OBGYNs all over encourage handstands.  Especially since there's no chance of a hard fall when attempting that sort of a thing.  Hard falls present no danger to pregnant women.  No risk there. Carry on.

Most ob/gyns will say if you were doing it before you're ok to do after.

Only a complete retard would fall on their stomach from handstands. If she knew how to safely come out of a handstand when not pregnant she can do it while pregnant.


I know, I know, it's so much fun to hate on things you don't understand. Sorry to rain on the parade.

A co-worker of mine ran a marathon (26.2 miles) while preggers.  Not nine months though.  Just a couple months with a small bump.

Baby is fine.

If she was already running marathons and such before pregnancy, continuing isn't that big of a deal. I was told specifically to work out while pregnant, just stick to workouts that weren't too strenuous.

This lady is foolish, risking her baby's life to "test her devotion to crossfit".
