do you still go to the gym?
do you still go to the gym?
I've been going! Normally just eliptical and arm exercises. But I've moved and have been going to a new gym. I'm now 33 weeks pregnant. I keep getting looks from other women like I don't belong! It's really frustrating, I'm about to freak out and say something. How do or would you ladies handle this situation?

I agree with pp. Once you look them in the eye they tend to look away. And when you get into your zone, nobody else matters. You're there for yourself and your LO. Everybody else is just background.
Enjoy your workouts and congrats!

If you look back & possibly give a dirty look they will look away. Shame on them for even looking at you funny! Your being active & healthy, that's a good thing!!

Thanks ladies! My SO wants me to say something next time. I don't want to confront them, and I do keep my head phones in, luckily I can't hear them if they say anything! I just don't want to cause a scene at the gym I go to regularly. So I'll give them my best dirty looks next time.

Or just look them in the eye and smile. Maybe they forgot how.

I'll keep an eye on them. Lol I smile at people when they look at me. But to stare and give me dirty looks as if I don't belong makes me feel they don't deserve a smile ....

I just asked about this today!! I get stares as well! I'm still doing pretty much the same exercises I was doing pre pregnancy with some modifications. I too, feel uncomfortable with these looks. I think it's something that we will just have to overcome and just try and focus on what's important. I was doing lunges this morning and this older women glared at me with an almost disgust look. I just smiled and continued, this is how I feel I will get over it slowly.
