Would you let your wife do crossfit while pregnant?

Yeah I think that this mostly has to do with the risk of throwing their backs out. I'm not sure what kind of heaving lifting they do in crossfit games but like I said, it is dangerous for her, not the baby in this case.

I believe it can cause premature labor.

My wife worked during one of her pregnancies and she delivered about 3 months early.  I didn't want her to work but everyone from her doctor to her friends thought it was ok.  And it's not like she was road grading, she was a salesperson on the floor of a department store.  I think the stress caused her to go into premature delivery.  

Personally I think all women should take it easy during their pregnancies just because there is always an increased risk of miscarriage or premature births.  But hey I know this isn't the 1950's and women pretty much do what they want.  I just think it's selfish unless you MUST work to support your family.

Before FMLA and maternity leave, women worked right up to labor. There was no such thing as a doctor putting a pregnant woman on "bed rest" and most women remained very active throughout their pregnancies. As a result, birth weights were somewhat higher in the 50's-60's and the health of both mothers and babies was much better than it is today. Since from 1990-2005 the average birth weight dropped 2 ounces.

While cross-fit may be a bit to the extreme, I completely agree that pregnant women should remain active, exercise and stay in shape throughout their pregnancy. It certainly has to be better physically and emotionally than just laying around. Those who do stay in shape and keep some sort of exercise regimen going are those who 2 months after giving birth never look as though they were ever pregnant.

      First on T-Mac, I 100% expect him to be the top WR from this class, however I think expecting him to put up 1k+ as a rookie isn't necessarily fair, especially since you're putting it in perspective of how many other rookie WRs have done that in recent years. And Thielen is the reason for that. Not many (if any) of those 1k+ rookies had someone like Thielen there when they were drafted, and no matter how good T-Mac is this year, Bryce is still going to lean on his existing chemistry with Thielen unless he's drastically lost a step this offseason and just can't get open like he's been able to in his career. As I pointed out in another thread the other day, looking at MHJ last year is the way to look at T-Mac's season if Thielen plays a full and healthy season.  MHJ had McBride "steal" 110+ catches and 1,100+ yards in what was a pass happy offense (Kyler was 9th in the league in attempts), it's going to be hard for any rookie to put up more than the 800ish yards he had last year in that scenario.  Especially if we follow a similar game plan to last year and be a run heavy team. In terms of XL, you're completely right, jumping up to get a project 2/3 isn't smart, and if we knew we needed a future slot from that pick, yes, Ladd would have been a much better pick. But at this point, those are all sunk costs, even taking T-Mac at 8 is now considered a sunk cost. Forgetting the past or who we maybe should have taken last year now knowing future roles, I still think T-Mac, XL, Coker can be one of the Top 1-3 WR rooms in the NFL in a few years, I honestly think they really do have that potential in them.
