May not be what you are use to but there is NOTHING wrong with it;)

So recently I have caught a lot of flack about how heavy the weight is I continue to lift and how hard I am working out in general. So tonight I did some research online about it. I simply typed in "crossfit pregnant" into google images and to my surprise TONS of pictures came up of woman lifting....and by lifting I mean heavy lifting. At my first appt my midwife told me I should not be lifting anything over 25 lbs when I proceeded to tell her about the type of working out I had been doing for over a year now she said well then I am comfortable with 45 LOL! I didn't dare tell her I had been lifting WAY more than that while pregnant and honestly I was going to continue too. I understand for a person who hasn't consistently been working out all of a sudden deadlifting 245 lbs while pregnant isn't the smartest thing. But for some one who has been lifting that heavy your body is use to it knows how to handle it and bottom line can deal with it. I felt it to be no different now that I was pregnant. Today I deadlifted 215 lbs I felt great while doing it and honestly could have done more but why keep pushing it? I didn't want to go to the point that it didn't feel good so I stopped there. I have backed off believe it or not...running is no more for me it hurts my back so I row instead, when I feel out of breath I don't keep pushing it like pre pregnancy I stop to catch my breath, I don't wait until the end of the WOD to get water I take a water break when need be. My goals pre pregnancy were just about me, now I still have goals but my first priority is making sure Hudson is ok. So after tons of research online I think doctors are changing their opinions on what you can and can't do in pregnancy.....all tied to what you were doing before. I love crossfit and I can't believe how strong I still feel even when I can barely move because my back is killing me;) I am happy with how hard I have worked and will continue to work just as hard through this third trimester. So speaking of my pregnancy....I am really starting to feel the effects of it. Just this week I can feel myself slowing down a little, I always said I would NEVER be that lady that walks like something is up her butt when she is pregnant well I became that lady with Parker and I am officially "that" lady again with this pregnancy. Pregnancy really takes such a toll on your body. I just feel EXHAUSTED all of the time which doesn't work too well with a 3 yr old and deployed husband. But somehow we manage;) I can't believe I am already 32 weeks not too much longer until Michael comes home and we have another baby boy!
