Necessary to tell personal trainer I'm pg?

hot fuss · October 2008

We've decided not to tell anyone until ~ 8 weeks. I see a trainer once a week - various lifting, cardio, etc. Would you tell? I had one session last week and felt a little wiped out, so I'm thinking that I should tell him so that I don't overdue it. Any thoughts? TIA.

Yes, I think you should most definately tell.

Annie_1208 · October 2008

I would most definately!

LindseyS0504 · October 2008

Yep, I'd tell him.

YES! It's extremely important that you tell your personal trainer that you are pregnant.

JARbaby · October 2008

100% yes.

dmogmo · October 2008

Yes.

Um, YES. He/she will have to alter your workout accordingly.

Yes I for sure would, you're trainer might make you lift a little more than you should or cause your core temp to get quite high. Then at least if you feel like crap one day, he/she will know why.

More than body temp your muscles and joints are spreading already and it is VERY easy to hyperextend parts of your body injuring you badly.

Of course! And you need to tell your doctor that you are seeing a trainer and get the guidelines they recommend.

I would tell too.

Definetly. Ask him not to share the news but I had to tell the teacher in my weight training class so I could avoid certain moves.

Thanks everyone. I'm dying to tell someone else anyway!

I work out with a trainer 2x a week and you should 100% tell him. Right now you can still pretty much do everything but as you progress he will need to change your workout around. Plus he will likely increase your breaks in between sets right away and make sure you don't seem out of breath. Very important, he's worth telling.

Ditto PPs. Many doctors will advise women to make sure that their heart rate isn't above 140, so your trainer will need to modify your workout.

yes! you really shouldnt be seeing a trainer while pregnant.. I stopped seeing mine while pregnant. Especially in the 1st tri I would really take it easy, like i do the treadmill for thirty minutes walking and thats it..
