  • You're listening to Life Kit.

  • I have often wondered what pregnant women can actually do in terms of exercise.

  • I got the idea that you're not supposed to lift heavy things or jump around too much.

  • But then there are also women online doing CrossFit at nine months pregnant.

  • LifeKit reporter Andy Tegel was confused about this during her pregnancy.

  • I remember when I first found out I was pregnant, I had joined this boot camp gym.

  • And I'd been going pretty regularly and it was really fun and really hard.

  • But almost immediately after seeing that positive pregnancy test, I stopped going.

  • Wow.

  • I mean, not because my doctor told me I couldn't, not because I had read any research.

  • I just seemed like...

  • Maybe this isn't a good idea.

  • What was your fear?

  • That I might do something to hurt the baby.
