她25週了。這次除了放上她的運動紀錄，也簡單地透露出她孕期的過程，和很多媽媽一樣16週前她感到沒精神，整天只想無力地躺在床上，當狀況好轉後，為了維持基礎體能，她才開始恢復運動。看似很正面的發言，結果底下的留言就開始發酵。
「25週肚子還那麼小對嗎？」接著就是一連串大家把自己孕肚拍照上傳，。
「我29週肚子比她還小啦！」
「我寧可看你拍躺在床上軟爛照，你知道很多第二孕期流產的孕婦嗎？」
「懷孕可以拿重量嗎？」
古今中外的孕婦最常被攻擊的就是肚子的尺寸，你的身高週數不重要，開口就是，妳的肚子怎麼那麼小，有沒有在吃東西啊！肚子好大喔！是不是快生了。事實上即使是預產期接近的兩個孕婦，仍可能因為羊水的量，圓身扁身，衣著的搭配，讓我們視覺上有了肚子差很大的感覺。胎兒的大小，最準確的就是利用超音波下寶寶的頭圍腹圍腳長去做預估。不清楚狀況的路人，實在不應該拿妳的肚圍，去增加妳的壓力。
再來談到流產早產，中後期胎死腹中。至今完全沒有證據這些和孕婦在懷孕過程中的食衣住行及運動有任何關聯性。定期產檢追蹤子宮頸長度，注意胎動及胎兒生長曲線才是最重要。將不完美的懷孕結果，不分青紅皂白怪罪於孕婦的日常作息，這種不科學又隱含歧視的想法到底何時能終結？
回歸到她的動作，對照她三週前的分享。動作的串連步調明顯放慢，硬舉、改良式的波比、藥球、弓步。仍是以全身性多組數的方式維持體能。可以發現在弓步及壺鈴上拉時，她會輔助手撐牆壁，摸肚子的方式幫忙核心穩定。這是因為到了中後期，隨著肚子變大，重心改變，核心的穩定更加困難，恥骨下背疼痛的情形可能隨鬆弛素的上升更明顯，這樣的小動作，可以避免動作不穩定和降低肌肉拉傷的風險。至於孕期運動能不能拿重量，我想這個答案應該是要客製化。假設妳是健身老手，動作熟悉，孕期當然可以適當的負重(12-20RM) 肌耐力的訓練，避免力竭。
如果妳對這些動作不熟悉，那麼當然負重就是不恰當的。

#bbg2019 #SWEAT12wc So here is my pregnancy safe #bbg style workout!
I just want to say, I KNOW this look super hard and it looks like I’m SO fit... but I need you ladies to know, ESPECIALLY the ladies who have had kids, that pregnancy for me, has definitely not been an easy journey. I don’t ‘feel’ fit - at all. I am saying this because I don’t want you to feel pressure when you look at me and what I’m doing on my pregnancy journey - to workout or eat clean. I’m working through this as all women do and doing what I believe is safe and healthy for my baby, which is different for every woman’s journey. I need you to understand that my workouts aren’t the complete reflection of my entire day. I’m also tired and get fatigued and take rest periods during the day. I was VERY sick for the first 16 weeks. I felt like I had no energy, struggled to stomach most foods. Even now in my second trimester, I still don’t feel ‘great’, but pregnancy also isn’t about that. It’s about maintaining health, to grow a child. “People ask, how do you feel!?” and my response is...”tired actually”. I know a lot of women tend to “feel amazing in the second trimester”... but that hasn’t happened for me. I feel crap, to be honest.. BUT I do MY best everyday. I spend bits of time during my day napping if I can fit it in. It’s been a near record setting heat wave where I live, which is definitely not amazing while being pregnant haha. I’m doing this 12 week challenge to remind me that fitness isn’t about going as hard as possible. It’s about health, a lifestyle and maintenance and that’s all I’m trying to do. Maintain my health and that of my baby. This community is so supportive of one another, and I feel that too. So thankyou .. really, for helping me get out of bed everyday and stay healthy and strong for my baby. I can’t put into words how much you ladies, as a community, help ME every day. Thankyou thankyou thankyou!
