@rehabwithroni: But the baby can't breathe! I lol when I see DMs of people telling me to "take it easy" and "not lift weights" because it can harm the baby 💀 Weight lifting while pregnant has been shown to have a positive impact on the baby's HRV, cardiovascular regulation, sleep patterns, placental blood flow, and improve fetal growth patterns. Baby aside, the mom has a lower risk of developing gestational diabetes and preeclampsia, can better maintain muscle mass postpartum, and can experience that endorphin release from increased activity levels! Obviously, check with your doctor before beginning an exercise routine to ensure you're safe and ready to go
