I am now 5 weeks pregnant with my third kid. The first two I didn’t workout. Anyways, I have been workout for over a year before I got pregnant with my third. We have pretty much the same workout routine. But now I am afraid that those intense workouts would raise up my body temperature, I read high body temperature will cause birth defects. Did you ever concerned about this during your pregnancy?

This was literally my comment. I know people look to Ali for advice and think if she did it I can do it. Just because you did the workouts before you were pregnant does not mean you should do them during or after. Honestly I would recommend every single woman to see a pelvic floor specialist before, during and after pregnancy. You could be doing harm to your pelvic floor and you will not feel this while it’s happening. A dr that specializes in this work will be able to tell you whats appropriate for you personally. Do not simply trust your obgyn, our health system is missing the bar in this department. That being said, there are ways to recover if you already have diastases or pelvic floor dysfunction. Please seek the advice of a professional in this field before starting any workout routine.

I love reading your blog and trying out your recipes! Thank you for sharing! I am pregnant and have a large chest but am having trouble find comfortable sports bars for working out! I remember you posting the company you enjoy wearing but can’t find the post! What was the name again?
Thanks so much!
Jordana

I’ve been following your blog for years 🙂 I just had a baby 7 months ago and just wanted to pass on a little experience that I kinda wish someone had told me… I was a cross fitter pre-preggo. I stuck with it for a bit but toned down and by the end of pregnancy was doing more body building type lifting and still walking 3-5 miles a day even at 40 weeks. My last gym session was at 39 weeks! Gave birth and unfortunately had a traumatic birth with some extensive damage. I had no idea pelvic floor physical therapy was even a *thing*. I went to PT and around 4 months was beginning to feel pretty normal again and got back into lifting too soon and ended up prolapsing. I totally don’t want to write this as a scare tactic but I wish more than anything someone had warned me about the risks of lifting with a compromised pelvic floor. I hope you have a wonderful, easy birth and never think again about this note but, please, just be careful when you get back into lifting after your little one arrives! I think really fit women can feel ok (I did at 4 months!) and assume that they are good to go and this issue is just so NOT talked about that the truth about allowing your pelvic floor to become fully functional again just doesn’t happen with women.

When you do the Nike HIIT sessions do you follow them on your phone or on a tv in the gym? Did you have to work up to doing the full body HIIT?

I also stayed very active while I was pregnant. I was going for hikes, doing HIIT, cardio and strength training up until the day before giving birth. I was running around my basement like a crazy person and doing jumping jacks the night before I was being induced in hopes that would help get things moving. It didn’t. I did have to stop running around 27 weeks because of similar problems – bladder control and intense pelvic pain. So I just walked a ton! I think me staying active during my pregnancy is the reason why I had such an easy delivery. My water broke and 4 hours later, my baby was born!

I’m trying to listen to my body and the baby, but would be curious if you found any difference in the way your body and belly reacted to some of the moves and especially sprints in spinning. Thanks and good luck in the final stretch! Very helpful post.

Congrats on your pregnancy! I was lucky and had no morning sickness, so I can’t relate – BUT, I’d just try to do some lower impact exercise – no jostling like running or spinning. I’d say just go for nice long walks. Do anything and be kind to yourself right now, it’s a lot to expect from yourself!
