A pregnant woman causes a social media firestorm when she posts online pictures of herself weightlifting just weeks from her due date. Lee-Ann Ellison is a cross-fit guru and whether she wanted to inspire or infuriate, her Facebook pics while weightlifting spurred 450 shares in just two hours. UTMB’s Dr. Shannon Clark says there is always risk in pregnancy, but even weightlifting is okay. “Whatever level of activity that you came into the pregnancy with, you can maintain for a significant period of time as long as you can tolerate it,” said Clark. “I never recommend a pregnant woman starting a new activity for the first time when they're pregnant.”
