The general population: But Im pregnant. You know what happens to your body when you get pregnant!! Me: no, tell me. What happens? Trolls come and tie you down and make you eat more that your body and pregnancy require? They tie you down and make you remain inactive for 9 full months? Ok. Thats a little satirical. But this gal proves a wonderful point. Pregnancy doesnt have to mean your whole body goes to hell in a hand basket. Granted, some people deal with some pretty debilitating sickness in pregnancy. And some deal with a variety of other health issues that prohibits them from being active. However, for the general, low risk population, aside from those early couple weeks where you are just dog ass tired, there is no reason you cant remain active through pregnancy. There is absolutely NO REASON to pack on 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 lbs. Thats dang near gluttony (again, assuming the healthy population). Quit giving into societys excuse for giving up on your health. Its not only your well being on the line, but that of your child. Fit and heathy pre-pregnancy, fit and heathy during pregnancy, fit and healthy post-pregnancy. Its really not a myth!!
