Did you still go to the public gym while pregnant? Specifically info on planet fitness if you know how they are when you start showing?

I don’t have a membership but I go with my sister every week. I want to work out throughout my pregnancy and keep having our gym nights but I’m nervous the workers will say something 😳

Go for it! 👏
There’s a very heavily pregnant lady in my gym most mornings doing gentle stretches and exercises and everytime I see her I’m cheering for her because keeping up fitness when your pregnant must be SO difficult!

As long as you aren’t pushing yourself extremely hard or doing anything dangerous then you’re good!

Don’t care what they say only you know what you can handle just don’t pick up anything heavy that’s all they would say but do not let them harass you. Honestly I envy you we don’t have a gym near here that isn’t super expensive and I wish I could go all the power to you.

I’m not very kind when people try to give unsolicited opinions and if someone said anything. I would ask them for a copy of their MD licensure for your state since they are trying to give out medical advice.

Worked out all pregnancy for both of mine. Weights, swimming, cardio-all of it.

Gyms don't have policies against pregnant women working out. You just have to proceed at your own risk and make sure what you're doing is safe for you

I went to the gym my entire 2nd pregnancy and I am planning to keep going to the gym for this entire pregnancy too. It’s nobody’s business but my own!

I didn't do a PF, I went to a private gym but I was honestly more encouraged by members and staff during my pregnancy than before! It's healthy to continue to exercise so id keep going

I didn't as I was super anxious but I wish I did.

I would go, but I have no energy 😂
I’m gonna start going back to the gym after I give birth.

Workers won’t say anything. I didn’t go gym, but I did the prenatal Pilates and yoga classes. I prefer classes. (And I have home weights) They have classes so they won’t say anything Xx

Keep going- if your doctor wants you to stop or take it easy then do that but overall keep going

Yep! I go to planet fitness. I’m 9 months and I try to go 5 times per week for an hour or more. It’s helped with my sleeping and back pain so much!

Avatar

I went 5 days a week until 3 days before I gave birth. Just modify things as needed with progression of pregnancy.

I worked at a planet fitness and I know we wouldn’t say anything as long as you know your boundaries and have it cleared by your dr you’re all good!!!

Love my husband. Love my kids. But…

I’m 32 weeks pregnant with twins. I take care of my 4 yo, 2 yo, and 1 yo. I barely have energy to stand anymore. I cuddle and watch movies with my kids all day at this point. My husband is less pushy in this pregnancy in wanting to be touched or love up on me. But I feel more like a tool these days more than ever. He gets frustrated (not to a crazy degree) but I can tell he huffs because he’s probably sexually frustrated from me not wanting to be touched on. (my boobs are super sensitive atm) I love having the babies part, but the pregnancy also now has me feeling like a baby making machine. And a tool with big boobs made for touches and my husbands pleasure. Ofc I love my husband and kids, but with my hormones all wack, it really doesn’t feel the same when you’re not turned on. It’s so hard for me to get turned on. I’m uncomfortable all the time in my own body. Babies moving in there all the time. My children cuddle me all day but get rowdy at the end of the day, so I end up getting touched out and I can get irritable when my husband tries to touch me affectionately. He doesn’t have the tact necessary for me right now, when I wish he wanted to go in for a normal comforting hug I’m let down more often than not, there is almost always a boob groping involved as well. I tried to just let him touch me last night so he could get it out of his system, but he could tell I felt tense. Wish my boobs weren’t such an uncomfortable place for me to be touched. Idk why I’m making this post. Probably just to vent. Wish men were equally as emotionally intelligent as women. Wish I didn’t feel like I still owe him something because he’s picking up a lot of the house load and yet I still need to ask him to do more before these twins arrive. He’s tired every day when he comes home, so he takes a shower sometimes works out, and helps get the kids to bed. So it’s a struggle getting him to help any further than that. Weekends are my only time to get to him. But it’s a struggle to find time on weekends too. I know if he wanted to he would. But there’s just no drive.

Maternity leave Employment rights?

I have 6 weeks left of work and they have completely changed my job spec including my job title and all my responsibilities, they have done this ahead of advertising my maternity cover apparently to fit business needs which I am fine with but i explained as long as it doesn’t effect me before I go. They have now turned round and said they want me to do the training for it before I go and want me to sign a variation in contract asap. Are they allowed to do this? I thought you had the right to come back to the same job within 26 weeks and I haven’t even left yet and they’re changing it? I was going to see what the job was when I got back and go from there but now they’re wanting me to sign this change in contract before I go I don’t know what to do, do I have to sign it ?

Baby groups?

Hello there!!
I hope you enjoying the 5month babies 🫠 the cuteness outweighs everything over here.
We live in the area of Croydon & need to start going to baby groups ( I NEED it more than him though) but I am a little bit clueless. Any recommendations?
We are happy to travel a bit too.
Thanks ☺️
