Hii Guys, Could anyone give me some clarity on the below point. I have cleared 2nd round of technical interview at Deloitte, but my candidature is still showing as interview in progress at Deloitte careers page. I had a discussion with HR on this and she told me that next process is pending from management side. It's been almost 10 days since from 2 nd round of interview. How much more time does it gonna take, any idea? Or is it normal. Please help me with this 🙏🙏 .Deloitte

I don’t remember the specifics of how I changed my routine (I’m 8 months pp now) but over time it became more body weight and stretching as opposed to heavy weights and cardio. I kept running through 7 months of pregnancy but honestly I think it did my pelvic floor more harm than good. I wish I had just leaned in to walking and stretching; those were the most helpful!
Looking back on my pregnancy, I regret pushing myself so hard and feeling the need to keep up with my gym routine. Instagram convinced me that if I just kept doing what I used to do then the baby would pop out with a simple sneeze and my body would be as good as new. It’s toxic and unfair to expect that of yourself!
My doctor said the same thing and I can rant for days about how triggering that was to me. But I’ll spare you. In the end I tried to do my own research and ended up only avoiding exercises that specifically targeted my center core and modifying movements where the belly was in the way. And cutting out heated workouts. I didn’t limit myself on weight and actually feel like I got stronger while pregnant (mass moves mass and all that, I guess) and even PRed some exercises. I also did a shit-ton of handstands which felt great on my hips. Towards the end of my pregnancy I was down to maybe 4 workouts/week as opposed to my normal everyday, but I did keep it up until the very end (I did 100lbs split jerks the night I went into labor and I’m pretty sure all the jumping caused it 😂). I was very anxious my entire pregnancy, and to me, working out was the one way to feel a little bit in control over my body during a time when your body mostly controls you, and I needed that for my own sanity.
I kept my weight the same as pre pregnancy, even at 39 weeks I was still lifting the same amount (plus 40lb of pregnancy weight haha). My doctor just said to keep doing what I was doing pre pregnancy as long as I felt ok. I was going OTF 6 days per week pre pregnancy and by the end still went 4 days per week.
Never stopped
I didn't scale back too much... Stopped jumping after I noticed my pelvic floor was weaker and altered abs workouts to be less crunches and more modifiers but otherwise continued with weights unless my body didn't like it.
I kept going till week 36 and I was super proud! Fyi I'm super overweight so not one of those super dedicated mamas but I found myself more dedicated while pregnant oddly?! Nice to kick butt knowing I was also pregnant!
My doctor told me the same thing. It sounds cliche but your body will tell you when it’s time to adjust something. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised how little I had to modify my regular workout routine while pregnant. I worked out 4-6 days a week my entire pregnancy and had a really easy delivery as a result.
I ended up limiting to 20 lbs for strength training until around mid-2nd trimester where I ended up being told light activity only for my last pregnancy. For my first, I worked out until mid-3rd trimester with 20 lbs. I was high risk pregnancy for both, so that’s why my doctors gave me some of those restrictions.
I was a cross fitter before and during, like others have said, I intentionally did not try to PR (kept my weights the same or less) and generally listened to how my body felt. I didn’t push anything too hard but was generally able to do what I wanted to do
