Train During Pregnancy if You Already Lift

If you are already an avid lifter and become pregnant, continue training with modifications as needed. If you have not been lifting, pregnancy may not be the time to start. Examples discussed as often tolerated include sumo squats, Smith machine hip thrusts with the bar kept on the upper thighs and reduced depth, leg press if tolerated, and generally staying moving and fit.

If you've been, if you're an avid lifter and you get pregnant, you should absolutely continue training.
