Lifting weights

Recently found out last week that I was expecting. I am 5weeks today, and I haven't gone to the doctors just yet. But my question and concern is if I can still lift weights at the gym?

I'm 37 weeks and I weight train about 4 times a week. Just eight pounds and very slow, I also do an hour of cardio about 5 times a week, I've always worked out though. Ask ur doctor first, I didn't work out my first trimester also. Good luck.

Most doctors will say, if you were doing it before you were pregnant than its safe. But it depends on if you're a high or low risk pregnancy. I would hold off until your first appointment and ask your doctor just to be safe.
