Meghan Uphres Leatherɱaп was still lifting weights just a few days before she won 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡
Meghan Uphres Leatherɱaп was still lifting weights as part of her grueling fitness regimen, which also includes gymnastics and cardio, when she was close to giving birth and was already 1 cm dilated.
The 33-year-old from Arizona, USA, was even lifting weights the day she went into labor and had already broken records in the last few days of her pregnancy.
Meghan insists that her exercises, which also included walking her dog three miles each day and taking a four-mile hike through the mountains each week, were not a danger to her fetus, and maintains that they made the pregnancy unsafe. EASIER and your 𝑏𝑏𝑏 greets you more.
And now, after giving 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 to girl 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 Florence Geräine earlier this month, she can’t wait to ʋsmell the gym in less than a MONTH.
Meghan insists her exercise regimen made pregnancy a piece of cake
The marketing and communications consultant highlighted: “I talked to my doctor and he told me that I can go back to the gym in three weeks. I would never give up CrossFit [exercise regimen]: being in shape helped me conceive in the first place and kept me healthy throughout my pregnancy.”
Meghan started lifting weights two years ago and said she instantly “smelled addicted to the results she was seeing on her body.”
She said: “I never considered quitting during pregnancy.
“It fits my personality. It is a challenge.
NEW RECORDS: мuм-of-one set new personal records during her last days of pregnancy
“I like to try to work with others in a community and get the motivation to be stronger, fitter and better. I didn’t lose that motiʋation just because I was pregnant”.
Meghan Eʋen claimed that lifting weights prevented her from getting morning sickness and getting pregnant actually made it even easier to lift heavy weights, and three days before her due date she set a personal record by lifting 215L deadlifts. She is also doing 110L push-ups and 165L squats and has seen her energy and strength levels increase as her due date approaches.
Despite criticism leveled at pregnant women who continue to exercise, Meghan says her doctors have encouraged her regimen, adding: “My doctors have been incredibly supportive of what I’m doing.
QUICK LABOR: Florence was 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 after four hours of contractions
“They were thrilled that I was setting personal records lifting weights and told me to stay active and hydrated.”
BaƄy Florence was HAPPY after four hours of contractions and Meghan said she had an “easy” HA.
Defending her actions, she said: “A woɱaп doesn’t stop being criticized for trying to be active and healthy. This really helped me have an easier pregnancy and delivery. I think women should accept pregnancy and not use it as an excuse to ʋsmell lazy’.
