8 months pregnant woman sparks fury with her weightlifting images on Facebook

September 21, 2013 By Janet Vasquez Leave a Comment

35-year-old Lea-Ann Ellison, who is expecting her third child and is just two weeks behind her due date, ignited a storm on the social networking sites after she posted her pictures in CrossFit poses with her heavy baby bump.

The shocking yet amazing pictures of Ellison stirred sharp reactions from across the globe with huge debates between people who were outraged that a woman in her third trimester would be exercising so intensely, and those who celebrated her healthy lifestyle and encouraged her to keep it up.

The picture has been shared 2780 times since it was uploaded on September 16. It has 16,685 likes, and counting. And more than 1500 Facebook users have commented below it.

Reactions

“Sure you look and sound cool, but we’re only human…why would you risk hurting your baby just to stay in shape.”

“If anything happens to your baby due to your stupidity, I hope you’ll be able to handle your guilt. Pregnancy is NOT the time to be taking stupid risks.”

“You may have mastered the squat but need to work on motherhood ..8 months doing an overhead squat really??!!!”

“I’m 6 months pregnant with triplets and am still CrossFitting as much as I can! I coached as well as participated in CrossFit classes through my whole first pregnancy, too! My doctors- the specialists included- totally support it.”

Meanwhile, Ellison said that she had no idea the pictures would create such a storm and she’s baffled by all the media attention over the past week.

“I want to thank everyone for their kind and supportive responses! Haters will hate and it’s OK. My life is not their life thank goodness! Lol! Again, thank you! It means so much to feel this much love from a community I adore,” she posted on Facebook.

Pregnancy and the Unbelievable Changes in the Body for Expecting Moms

August 26, 2013 By Janet Vasquez Leave a Comment

Are you expecting a child and witnessing a slew of changes in your body as the time progresses. Changes are obvious as you have a completely new life inside you. As the time progresses, women’s bodies undergo a slew of unbelievable changes. Often, the expecting mothers get hung up on the negative symptoms and with good reason. The unrelenting nausea, excruciating heartburn and all-time fatigue make you feel irritated.

Hard to believe, but women’s bodies do incredibly mind-blowing things as the embryo develops in the womb. Here are some of the amazing things that can happen to women’s bodies during pregnancy. Notably, it is not necessarily same for two pregnant ladies as the changes are tend to differ depending upon your body.

You Grow An Entire Organ

During pregnancy, women’s bodies grow a whole new organ, i.e., the placenta — a structure that develops in the uterus and provides oxygen and nutrients to your baby. It, moreover, plays a key role in waste removal from your womb.

You Actually Glow

If you find yourself looking beautiful and your skin glowy, it’s not just because you’re brimming with I’m-about-to-become-a-mom sentiment; there’s also a physiological basis for it. The aforementioned increase in circulation that occurs during pregnancy causes many women’s faces to appear brighter, or flushed.

You Stop Shedding Your Hair

This is the best news for every woman. During pregnancy you stop shedding hair at its normal rate. During pregnancy, higher estrogen levels extend that growth phase, meaning you lose less hair and may suddenly find yourself with a gloriously thick ponytail.

You Loosen Up

More specifically, as you move through your pregnancy, hormones (especially the aptly named “relaxin”) help soften the ligaments that hold your bones together and the pelvic bones themselves begin moving to accommodate your baby’s birth. Sometimes, this can cause a bit of pain and discomfort (if it’s severe enough, you should see your doctor), although as What To Expect reports, once your baby is born, your joints will firm up again.

You Breathe Differently

It’s not uncommon for pregnant women to feel short of breath, particularly in the later stage of the pregnancy when the uterus grows and begins to press on the diaphragm. But breathing also changes because of the high levels of the hormone progesterone in your body signal your brain to lower the levels of carbon dioxide in the blood.

Your Blood Volume Doubles

During pregnancy, the volume of blood in a woman’s body increases by a whopping 50 percent in order to help support the uterus.

You Become Particularly Orgasmic

The increased blood flow to a woman’s genitals and rise in the numbers of hormones that influences sexual desire increase sexual sensitivity, allowing many women to orgasm more easily.
