Strength training during pregnancy is not something to fear—it is something to plan for. This practical, trimester-by-trimester guide shows you how to keep lifting safely, whether you are a seasoned lifter protecting your routine or a complete beginner who wants to start strong. You will learn how pregnancy changes your muscles, joints, and balance; how to adapt your favourite lifts as your belly grows; and which core and pelvic-floor exercises genuinely support your changing body. Every chapter includes clear modification cues, realistic sample sessions, and honest guidance on what to stop, what to continue, and when to simply rest. Red-flag signs are named plainly so you always know when to call your midwife or maternity team. There is no judgement here about your starting point, your fitness level, or your birth plans—only steady, reassuring coaching for three trimesters of confident lifting. Strength belongs to every pregnant person. Part of The Pregnancy Companion Library.
