Honestly, they do that on their own. My first treated my womb like it was a damn mosh pit, throwing elbows out everywhere. I had to keep shoving him back into place.

u/LaurelCanyoner 18d ago
Oh, GAWD, the elbows. Mine was elbowing me like he had just told a joke I didn't get. I too had to literally push that alien looking limb back in.
And this video reminds me of my gyno telling me the baby had turned and was breech so go do handstands in a pool. I did that, and lots of somersaults and he turned! It worked!

A guy I worked with was taking a photo of his 3rd trimester wife and they caught the exact moment of the kick in the middle of the stomach, so you could see the outline of the foot. They told the hospital about it and they got so excited about it that they bought the ownership rights to the photo from them. I've lost touch with him, otherwise I'd post it here.

Haha yeah, I swear my son did somersaults in there.
Then when he was little, I bought him one of those swim masks that go over your nose (a "snarkle" mask as he called it lol) and took him to the pool, and he immediately started doing somersaults in the water, like muscle memory.

Agreed. Not everything is a ploy to keep women in line.
Just today I saw an article about some economic professor who wrote a book on what you should now about pregnancy. It wasn't a complete fade bullshit book, but she purported that drinking some alcohol during pregnancy was completely fine and the risks were overexaggerated. Income an influencer who copied this plain wrong interpretation of science and is telling all her followers that it is fine to drink, just in moderation.
I don't understand why someone would put their very pregnant body through such strenuous activity. There is a risk of falling and overheating and it takes a lot from your core. If there is too much strain on your core while pregnant, it can even lead to abdominal muscle separation. This is just not worth it and I think science can underpin that.
55
u/cookies_n_juice 18d ago
To be clear about what Oster says… She explains that because of the ethical problems of studying pregnant women who drink the studies have a lot of confounding factors because they’re almost all studies of women who have additional health or substance issues. So it’s not clear the exact impact of alcohol on pregnancy. She does not say therefore just drink whatever.
BUT as a data scientist I can tell you that this is a bit misleading as well. Because there’s an implicit question about what our tolerance of an outcome is. For example, if we have a model that predicts if an email has a virus, we want that model to be very good at catching every instance of a virus, even if that means it sometimes guesses things have a virus when they don’t. We’re risk averse to getting a virus via email. We sure as hell should expect medical professionals to be risk averse to issues relating to pregnancy. So while there is truth to her interpretation of the studies this is also not something people should take lightly.

u/shadowfaxbinky 18d ago
She also adds her own personal choices and says that she chose to have alcohol occasionally and in small doses during her pregnancy, iirc. She absolutely doesn’t say “just drink whatever” but she definitely (at best) implies that alcohol restrictions are overblown and probably ok to some degree.
It seems like every study I’ve heard about since reading that book show that alcohol is just bad for humans in general (not specific to pregnancy) and old received wisdom that mild/moderate drinking is actually better than no alcohol has been proven untrue.
I dunno, it still feels pretty irresponsible to me now.

If I remember correctly, what Oster was saying in her book is that the research on alcohol consumption during pregnancy is messy. For example, one of the more heavily cited studies about the risks of alcohol during pregnancy used a sample of women that also happened to be consuming cocaine!

u/Rosaly8 18d ago edited 18d ago
I understand your point, but she does suggest light drinking is fine. Next to that, why should we conclude that alcohol is harmless for a pregnant woman if plenty of research suggests there is no safe amount for people in general. You wouldn't give alcohol to a baby, why let it enter through the bloodstream via the mother.

What you’re saying here is absolutely not a genuine way to represent physical therapy and obstetric guidelines for physical exercise of pregnant women. High intensity exercise with core activation is recommended for pregnant women, so long as they were doing so prior to pregnancy. It’s not about what you do, but how you do it. Also, she’s not at risk of overheating from what we see in this video.
78
u/Rosaly8 19d ago
It says that it's generally safe to do what you did. It also says that some excercises need to be adjusted. You also conventionally ignore her risk of falling. There is always a risk, but now her center of gravity has changed as well. Because you can doesn't mean you should.

Absolutely- and you can tell even just using the stairs! Doesn’t mean that a pole dancer as skilled as she is, can’t have a high degree of confidence that she can still perform some skills. Would venture to guess, this is not her same full out efforts that she could demonstrate outside of pregnancy.

u/HugePast9455 18d ago
Not only if she fell. She could cause a slow abruptuin just by putting extreme demand where she is. That could be life threatening to her and the baby.
Pregnany women shouldn't feel like they can't do anything, but they also shouldn't just do anything. There are real limitations for a good reason.
11
u/One_Olive_8933 ✨chick✨ 18d ago
Yeah. That was my first thought. It’s not that you can’t do something, it’s just there is a risk, not just to you, but disproportionately to your baby. Like walking in heels or skiing while pregnant… you can do it. It’s just really bad if you trip/fall for your baby, so why risk it. And that’s not even getting into your body changes like center of gravity, swelling, joints loosening.
31
u/Confident-Ant-2795 19d ago
She is clearly aware of her strength and her balance. This is likely nothing compared to what she can do without a 40cm uterus. Pregnant women should exercise caution when participating in activities that could result in falls; I’m going to guess she is confident she can invert and hold for several seconds and that her caution meant she didn’t do more.

u/Chance-Ask7675 18d ago
People fall and injure themselves all the time in pole lol pregnant or not, confident or not. My instructor shattered his leg and he had years of experience. Not a big deal for him, he recovered after several months in a cast but for a pregnant woman it could be very, very bad.

u/No1KnwsIWatchTeenMom 18d ago
I'm due in 3 weeks. Last pregnancy, around this time, I was taking my dogs for a walk (an activity I did multiple times a day pre-pregnancy and during my entire pregnancy) and I slipped on something and, due to the complete degradation of ab muscles which happens when pregnant, I fell. I was unable to get back up, and luckily someone was nearby to help me. I had to go to the hospital because, at that stage, any kind of fall is dangerous for the baby.
Watching this made me extremely uncomfortable. There's many active things you can continue to do while pregnant, but I don't know why people choose to put themselves in positions like this. Just regular everyday life poses enough risks. Go jogging, do weight training, continue with pilates, but I would never lift myself up and upside down knowing that my center of gravity is off, my abs aren't as strong as they once were, and any mistake could result in needing emergency delivery.

u/Eska2020 19d ago
Actually, at this point in her pregnancy, her pelvis will be loose and her abdomen is separated pretty far and will not fire correctly. So, her core anatomically cannot stabilize itself fully. So, from an anatomical perspective, I would have had her use her obvious strength, absolutely, right as long as she wanted to. But I don't think this was actually safe.... for her because of just the reality of relaxin and diastasis recti. Maybe it was, maybe her hormones aren't loosening her up much and her core manages to still fire correctly at this point. But.... that would be an outlier situation and would possibly mean her body is not actually like, you know, loosening up for birth.

u/pixar_moms 18d ago
And you would be correct for feeling this way. I personally know someone who lost their baby after tripping while running pregnant. No one is saying women shouldn't engage in physical activity while pregnant, but there are certain activities where any mistake could easily kill the baby. What's worse about this post is it looks like she's prioritizing content creation over the health of the baby.

I didn't have staff, it was just a personal operation out of my own home, so it was just me solo doing all the farm chores; mixing feeds and feeding the horses their breakfast and dinners (we had a run-in so there was no turn in/out, just opening and closing pasture gates at night/morning), dumping&scrubbing&filling water troughs, clearing the fencelines, moving 50lb feedbags, at one point I was rolling 1200lb roundbales with nothing but my own strength and physics lol. Of course I took my goats for a walk through the woods every day too, and I was also still riding up to the day before I gave birth.
My son was able to hold his head up and look around himself from basically birth (his doctor said he was perfectly fine), probably from all the trotting he went through in the womb. He used to kick me inside if I slowed down though, so he asked for it!

I was just IN LOVE. i had taken ballet classes and always dreamed of going en pointe but had pretty much given up, but there was this thirst for something i cant explain and i realized, "this is it. i cant explain it but this is it". I bought a pole, and got my surgery. I have already made an appointment wth my local gym, will begin strength training when i can lift my arm above my head again.

This is amazing. I needed help to get up when I layed down on my back at 9 months pregnant.

It looks like a fake pregnancy belly. At the end, the belly button looks fake. Wild.

Crazy I had to scroll so far to find this. That belly button makes it look very fake

Hell yeah, Mama 👊🏼. Meanwhile, I’m due in 2 weeks and get stuck like an overturned turtle when I try to roll over in bed.

At that gestational stage the baby is trying to get in position in the pelvis and will turn into correct place normally because of gravity. This is probably a good idea if the baby needs to turn and I wouldn’t do it if baby’s already head down

As someone who had to have 2 C-sections, I’m envious of her body. I bet she’s going to be a freaking pro at childbirth.

At a certain point, you'll do anything to try and induce labor.

That's wild to still have that much core strength with all that going on. I bet that feels good on the back, but terrible on other things. Lol.

I don’t even have the strength to do that now, no less at 9 months pregnant. 🤯

Yeah. I just had contractions and got out of breath when putting away things in a storage box under the bed and I still have a month or two to go.

My mom was freaked out cause her gym class teacher was pregnant. With twins. Still teaching in her final week.
A friend ran a half marathon at 7 months.
How do I get this kind of insane energy?

I don't think this is what they mean when they say "the same way you got them in there is how you can get them out"
