Aww Abby you're such a cute pregnant science lady 💝😭

[@abbypollock]

🥺💛 been loving the journey

[@asan94214]

@@abbypollock we'd love a pregnancy science video -- safe training AND stretching tips would be amazingggg

[@Teababii1995]

Congrats girl!!! I love seeing pregnant women workout. So inspiring

[@abbypollock]

It’s such an empowering feeling to think I’m moving my body while growing another one 😝

[@supermegaawesomeultragal7820]

To the people that say it's not possible to work out when pregnant, I myself was doing prenatal yoga (with modifications evolving with my trimesters) my whole pregnancy. And it had great benefits. Highly recommend 👍🏼

[@abbypollock]

Love seeing other women working WITH their bodies - whatever that looks like during your pregnancy 💛

[@supermegaawesomeultragal7820]

@@abbypollock Oh, and I did a lot of walking because I heard that it would make the delivery much shorter and easier.

[@DanceAddikt]

My doctor actually recommended working out while pregnant, she said it’s the most beneficial thing you can do and a great way to prepare for labour.

[@Lexibcju]

When told my OB I weight train. He said it was fine, and he had a lady playing professional netball until 16 weeks. Baby is safe in belly ☺️

[@geegurl25]

Your body is going to thank you SO MUCH for all of this strength training and healthy lifestyle during labor and post delivery!!! Keep doing what you’re doing because working out truly makes delivery so much easier and your body will bounce back incredibly fast!

[@cindygriffith5162]

I would love more pregnancy work outs!!! I got my fair share of comments when I continued my job of caring for 47 horses up to the week of my due date with both pregnancies, as well as riding my horse four days after my due date. Had super "easy" labor, pushed for five minutes, the doctor almost didn't make it to the room 🤷‍♀️

[@katrinam2309]

I’ve had 10 children in 12 years (two sets of twins, the youngest are 4 weeks old)… I’ve exercised for most of those pregnancies and I absolutely agree with the “listen to your body” approach! Listen to your doctor and do what you can to keep you and baby healthy 😊 I always feel better when I’ve been working out, and the recovery is easier. Best wishes, and congratulations!

[@godsbow8703]

Wow, God bless your heart.

[@johanna2690]

Wow! How did you even find the time? Mad respect to you. Your family life must be very organised. It's just crazy how different bodies cope. My mother was always active but after three children she had a prolapse which resulted in a hysterectomy. The same happened to my grandma after three children. I'm always in awe of women like you who can safely carry so many (twin) pregnancies. Did you do special excercises to strengthen your pelvic floor?

[@zzyzxzzyzx]

My mom had 9 in 18 years and was active throughout the entire thing (didn't workout until the last one) and hasnt had a single hard pregnancy, her longest labor was 4 hours. Watching these videos, I wonder if it's bc she was so active (hiking, running on the beach, swimming, biking everywhere bc we live in a beach town, etc). So cool that you exercised for each, I love the stories you guys have, that's so impressive! 💪

[@katrinam2309]

@@zzyzxzzyzx kudos to your mom, she’s amazing! I hope you had a fun childhood with your brothers/sisters 😊

[@Diana8Matienzo]

I love this! If I ever become pregnant, I hope to be as active as you during the process. You're a beast, mama!

[@sambodyknows]

Your baby's gonna come out with abs 😂 Jokes aside, it's impressive to see the attention to your body's cues and commitment to your health even during pregnancy

[@beee___]

This is my second pregnancy (my first was 12 years ago 🤣) I'm excited to work out and hopefully maintain some strength during this pregnancy! Unfortunately, a lot of people still have the belief that pregnant women should just sit around and do nothing otherwise they will hurt themselves or their baby.

[@abbypollock]

Excited for you! And big yes to this 🙏 Even I’ve been humbled by my beliefs…pregnancy is completely different from what I imagined but I’ve been loving learning 💛

[@beee___]

@@abbypollock thank you! I am very excited for you an Jeff as well 💛💛

[@Valentina_2006]

I had my kids 10 years apart worked out until I was maybe 8.5mo and had to sit down. I Never ran though my belly was HUGE!

[@sashacloud6954]

Ive watched you for yrs, I'm a fan. Ihad my 11yrs apart. 1st baby hide himself until 3rd trimester and I only walked (rarely). 2nd baby I was modifying my work outs through the trimesters and how I felt day to day. Helped emotional and physical. Happy for ya Abby!

[@heidimasters953]

So great to see you working out while pregnant. Many women think they need to stop activity during this time. 4 kids here, worked out during all pregnancies, all quick natural births. I think it was my musculature or overall strength that contributed. Good Job Abby 👏

[@aowyncarrillo7512]

You know yourself and are already in great shape so you will know when to take things slow or back off. Ladies at the gym were always telling me I was going to go into labor early because of my workouts but I actually went past my due date by a few days. Very empowering to see a strong mama. 😘

[@frizzie123456]

For some reason people think harmful stress and exercise stress are the same? Without stressing your systems they just flat out stop working lol

[@xkrystalynn8901]

Would love a video about the science of training during pregnancy! Watching you has been so inspiring. I’d love to hear what you’ve learned.

[@michellebrewer3408]

Definitely, more pregnancy workouts! This is so helpful!!

[@sarahrushton8154]

Yes keep these coming! I’m so happy that you are pregnant and a month further along than me so I can kind of get a good idea of some modifications! Thank you for sharing 😍 and about the people who criticize, get used to ignoring it, they continue on after the baby comes out too

[@karissahambley4969]

So happy to see you also happy, enjoying pregnancy and soon motherhood !! I am also a fellow Canadian, redhead, pregnant lady like yourself. Your advice in this video was so helpful. Thank you ! Can't wait to see the rest of your journey:)

[@dicksmashermicrocock7984]

I could not workout in first trimester at all. To much physical activity would make me vomit. Just a walk to and back to the store would make me throw up. Most of the time I could kind of “Hold it” until I got home. I tried running in like week 11-12 and I ended up throwing up on the side of the road….. yeah good times. But I’m back to working out now In second trimester and I feel so much better now. The vomiting and everything has stopped.

[@fate7224]

Awesome video! Would love to see an updated video as you enter your third trimester. So excited to hear about your due date as well!

[@tresatriesit]

It’s so crazy to see you preg. I’ve been following you for so long! I’ve learned so much from your videos and I am about to go to physical therapy assistant school! You inspire me !!!!

[@jessicasmith9452]

Love that you're still working away and staying active while listening to your body and making small adjustments here and there. Lots of people will be weighing in on your body and working out - pay them no mind. Listen to your body. You've got a great sense of modifications. Enjoy your workouts!! It's so special that you get to share your passion of working out with baby before they're even here 🤗💕

[@Lexibcju]

Thank you for sharing. I'm 20 weeks pregnant, weight train regularly, and thoroughly enjoyed this video! I'd love to see you release a video about the science of training during pregnancy. Please update us in your 3rd trimester

[@chelseali5861]

I never, ever comment on social media, other than to say thank you and nice job. But I did have to comment here. I love everything you’re doing and the grace with which you have taken this new news. As someone who definitely understands the therapeutic effects of rock climbing… love that you are trying to keep up your mental health as well. Keep it up, you are already trying hard to make healthful, strong decisions for yourself and your child. That deserves to be applauded. Thank you for sharing! For reference, yes I am an “outdoorsy, athletic Mom” of a now almost seven year old boy. ;-)

[@chandrajohnson5908]

Loved this video!! You are super woman!! I am currently 21 weeks pregnant and working out makes me feel SO much better!! Love watching your journey and can't wait to see more!! ❤️

[@caitlin862]

In my 3rd trimester I was walking between 4 to 7 miles each day. It really helped those aches and my labor was 3 hours, only felt painful contractions 30 mins prior to delivering my baby.

[@Untber]

Love this! I’m at 20 weeks and have been absolutely stumped by the first trimester exhaustion but ready to reclaim my body and get back to working out. Would love love love some work along side you videos to fill my week. Loved this video - even better in follow along style vid! Xxx

[@zachandzoe1653]

Yes please!! More pregnancy workout videos! I am an avid gym goer and now pregnant and need the inspiration ✨

[@hangoodrich983]

Yes, I would love another video like this down the road! I am also pregnant (18 weeks) and am trying to maintain a consistent exercise routine throughout. Prior to becoming pregnant I was doing Orange Theory, which is a mixture of interval training, strength training, and endurance and I have continued to go throughout my pregnancy. It has been hard, however to know how much to cut back/ restrain myself exercise wise as I feel like most of the advice I have gotten is also the outdated “keep heart rate under 140”. Love seeing other pregnant women who were already working out continuing their workout journey and allowing me to see how working out can practically look while maintaining a healthy pregnancy.

[@vanessak3795]

Good on you for continuing. I did F45 all the way through my second pregnancy. I actually completed my last class on my due date (I knew I would go over as my first was 10 days and this baby was measuring the same - she ended up being 9 days over). I modified where I needed - eg. no jumping or putting unnecessary pressure on the pelvic floor, and no abdominal work, but continued to be active and had no issues throughout my pregnancy, delivery or post natal. I was back to it at 6 weeks post and felt great.

[@hangoodrich983]

@@vanessak3795 Wow that’s amazing! And so encouraging!!! Thanks for the inspiration!

Abby thank you for making this content! It’s so helpful as I just started training this year and wanted to keep going even though I just found out I’m expecting!

[@brickblums]

My kiddo was amazing at rock climbing at 3yo! No bouldering until they were older - but, it is amazing how young they can pick up climbing. My kids are teens now - one regret I have is not continuing the climbing - it was getting too expensive, but really enjoyed it and watching the kiddos thrive

[@Isabella-vm3ir]

This journey is incredible!

[@beldilorenzo1]

Love this! And yes, would very much appreciate an updated video in a couple of months!

[@alexandriapankratz9724]

Yes and yes! As someone gearing up to get pregnant I would love to hear the science behind training while pregnant ❤ Keep being you Abby!!!

[@vidz953]

Yay! I climbed all through my pregnancy minus the end of the third trimester (that's when COVID hit and everything shut down). I would definitely recommend getting on rope instead of bouldering considering how far along you are. Just my two cents, take it for what it's worth! ☺️💕

[@lisabrons3004]

You look and are doing amazing! Everyone and their mother will tell you their thoughts about what you are doing. Honestly, pay attention to your body, and listen to your doctor - thats it! My body always told me when I needed to stop/slow down during pregnancy.

[@Martibles]

Yes, of course, we would love more videos just like this one as your pregnancy progresses. 🥰❤️🙌🏻

[@AP-gg7ep]

Could you make a video on the pelvic tilt muscles, what ange they should be and how pregnancy changes it and what strengthening exercises you do to keep everything strong and stable? You are doing so well! Rock on babe!

[@megthetrainer]

YES! MORE TIME! SO helpful

[@Lovelife10934]

[@fannoulasantourtzoglou3892]

Yes definitely an updated version later in the pregnancy please

Extraordinary work Abby, you're really making an effort to sustain and nurture the life you are carrying within. Let me just say it is not everybody's interest to grant the best possible start in life to even someone's own children. God bless you and your family to be, Best of luck from Italy 🇮🇹 🌝

[@deek6352]

Would love if you could do a vid for a specifically for beginner strength training similar to the vids you’ve done for running… I’ve never done strength training or weight training and I’m struggling to find out how to is best to begin… love how you explain everything, and love your vids

[@frizzie123456]

Omg Abbie super important!!!!! All your connective tissue is already becoming looser in preparations for Baby's Big Day, which means you need to start watching out for hyperextension!! I see it in your knees a little bit, the tension feels natural to you still but you're in for nonstop joint pain if nobody tells you!!!

[@FeralgenXwoman]

I did step aerobics and lifted weights 5-6 days per week up to delivery of my second child.... In 1994! Keep going!! :)

[@fly3513]

Wow it is really nice to see you climb, it is really fun and not dangerous if you took the route that you won’t fall

[@annadouglas9671]

So is it necessary to lower the weight in the first trimester? I’m only about 3-4 weeks along & feel like I have no idea how to safely continue lifting. Abster was over here maxing out in the first trimester.

[@karissahambley4969]

I would also love to hear of your reccomendations for workout clothes specifically pants / shorts. Thanks :)

[@rachelfletcherr]

Hey Abby! I just found out I am six weeks pregnant.. had no idea lol. I workout high intensity multiple times a week. The OB said stay around 140 for my heart rate. That’s challenging to do in my workouts. Do you have any guidance on this? I feel okay when I go over 140 we’ll I did before I knew I was pregnant.

[@Alynnescape]

i wonder what this little person you're growing is going to be like! thanks for sharing your journey

[@andreaaloisi1138]

You look beautiful and happy. Im so happy for you! What are your favorite workout shoes for different forms of exercises? Running vs weight training, etc

[@andreaaloisi1138]

And did that change so far with pregnancy having extra weight and circulation restrictions (or have you not experienced any of that yet)

Congratulations. Thank you for the evidence based advice.

100% want to see workouts and updates

[@katieociardha2196]

I was too sick to even walk around the block first trimester, though I forced myself to do a small walk each day if I could. By second trimester I was active again and am now at 24 weeks running gentle intervals of 5 minutes on / off and working out again, plus hip stretching and lots of walking. *But* paying a lot of attention to how everything feels and going slow and gentle

[@Yunglou3000]

[@amanday5480]

I was just thinking if pregnancy would stop me from bouldering! So good to see an example that it doesn’t have to!

[@sararazz]

I just got pregnant too! Kinda worried to work out cuz im in my first trimester. I think the key is to stop once u feel like its straining you…. I was sprinting, skipping etc, the week before i took the test.

[@michaelaneudorf2662]

Coming in at 35 weeks and woah is the thrid trimester a whole different ball game then the second😅 to all my mama's we can still continue to move and adjust through this crazy time Strong mom's all day! 🎉🎉🎉

[@belovedobserver]

35 weeks is when my feet started swelling, and I had shooting nerve pain down my inner thighs 😮‍💨. That was when I really had to tone my exercise wayyy down to pretty much body weight only. That’s what I call the final stretch.

[@catmeow6967]

I am so impressed at how much activity and exercise you are able to do while pregnant. Baby can look back at your videos and be able to say “my mom is a super woman!”
