She trained not just heavy weights common, and thought it was prudent to exercise as much as usual so long it felt OK and gave no pain.

Can train as normal

Henriette Øien, director of the Health Directorate, was agree.

– Our recommendation for pregnant women is the same as for adults in general: One should engage in moderate activity at least 150 minutes a week. But there is nothing in the way of women who are accustomed to being much more active than normal, continue at approximately the same level when they are pregnant, possibly with adaptations, said Øien.

– Many women think that they should not exercise when they are pregnant, but there is no way that one can train as before, she says, adding that one should avoid activities where there is a risk of falling, such as handball, skiing, various contact gates and horse riding.
