On the training board, Nonerz asked what "they" said - they being some obstetricians I had spoken with about uterine eversions, uterine prolapse, cervical incompetence and miscarraiges. SO I cut and pasted my reply

Because you ask sweetie.....
Many researchers have tried to find a link between uterine prolapse, uterine eversion and specific causes - number of kids, lifting heavy etc. None can be found. Women who be having their first child might have a uterine eversion, women who NEVER had a child might suffer from uterine prolapse, and other women who had literally 10 kids may never even dribble when their bladder is full and they sneeze. Lifting heavy, having lots of children, having a conization procedure done on a cervix that his dysplastic tissue - none increase risk of spontaneous abortion...and new studies show circlage surgery does not reduce miscarraiges due to "cervical incompetence". As I mentioned previously - my wife squatted and deadlifted pretty damn heavy (255 squat and 225 dead) WHILE pregnant with our 3rd child.

Pretty damned stupid, actually
I think it was based on the (obviously) erroneous assumption that one can "turn fat into muscle." So, if she's starting out with lots of fat, she'll end up with too much muscle.
R-i-i-i-i-i-i-g-g-g-h-h-h-t.
I'd'a had trouble not slugging him, myself.

About the deadlifts, though...
The trainer at my gym showed me how to do them, but he showed me this way of doing it where I lower the bar down, but not all the way down, just til I "feel a nice stretch." Well, I do yoga, so it takes a lot to make me feel a stretch. I think I ought to just pick the weight up from the floor, eh? (I'm 36, so I've been a little leery of dl's, afraid of messing up my back.)
Any pointers?

it sounds like he taught you a stiff leg deadlift or romanian deadlift. you wont feel much of a stretch if you are bending your legs and picking it up off the ground. did said trainer tell you to keep your knees from bending or keep them slightly bent and move just through the hips?
