Anyone still going to the gym with their pregnant belly?

Do you get funny looks from people? I go 3 times a week and just walk around the track for 2 miles and every few laps do wall pushups. I'm not even walking that fast, not getting out of breath or red faced or even sweaty. People give me the weirdest looks - you'd think they never saw a pregnant woman walking before!

ETA: I'm 30 weeks now and have been getting htese looks since my belly showed up. I've been going to the gym at least twice a week since I got my bfp and most of these people are regulars from even BEFORE I got pregnant (I've been going to this gym for 3 years).

I don't go to the gym but I get the looks when I am out w/ my dog on the trail near our house. They look at me like what is she nuts walking that big dog on this long trail. I am 20 weeks. I also am not sweating, red faced, just walking w/ my dog. MIL doesn't think I should be doing this either.

I go and do the treadmill and some weights. I feel like there are men there with belly's the same size as me!! Let them look...we just wanna be healthy, right? ha ha. You are motivating me to go this week! Thanks!

With my son I went until my due date. I took classes and I got a lot of looks and comments. Most people were really nice about it though and said really nice things to me. I am hoping to work out until the end with this pregnancy too!

Re: Anyone still going to the gym with their pregnant belly?

I am 34 weeks and still go - probably 2-3 times a week. My stomach is HUGE! People literally stop lifting weights when they see me. Usually the men make the comments like "that baby is going to run right out of you!", but this pregnancy has been less comments. With my DS, I worked out the night before I gave birth. I had alot of comments, but most of them nice. I don't blame people from staring b/c even i think i look freaky!

I don't go to the gym, but I'm still teaching dance 4 days a week and I get lots of comments from all of the mothers, but usually they're pretty nice.

Re: Anyone still going to the gym with their pregnant belly?

I go four days a week I walk the track 4.5 miles, do the elliptical, do squats, wall push ups, the rowing machine, and weights for my arms and at first I got strange looks and people avoided me now they say hello and want progress updates. Not to include my swim class is a silver sneakers class and that means (Over 65) they love me in there. They say when I get in the pool it becomes the fountain of youth. God I love those ladies.
