This gave me a laugh this morning. I seem to hear about every bad-ass pregnancy achievement, and it rarely feels motivational. That said, I do notice that it's never the pregnant women themselves who brag and gloat... it's always second hand.

What are the craziest stories/achievements you've heard about active pregnant women?

    That's funny :)

    I taught Bodypump to 41 weeks and Bodycombat to 40 weeks, so I think I can pat myself on the back for that one :)

    Hikerbeth,

    Glad to hear you taught pump until 41weeks. I'm not an instructor but I love bodypump, attack, step and RPM. In pump did you continue to teach using your pre-preg weight or did you reduce your weight. I've kept my same weight for most of the tracks (except squats and clean and press).

    My weight just sort of naturally reduced (I think you should be able to add your belly weight to your squat weight ;) ).

    I also used an inclined bench for the lying down stuff and ended up having to do the clean & press with plates instead of a bar once my belly got too big.
