I haven't trained any pregnant women.

But a simple google "Workout While Pregnant" or reviewing your certification text book should have some pretty clear guidelines on how to formulate a plan for her.

I'm sure someone who has trained a pregnant woman will weigh in soon tthough!

Good luck!

I have trained a few pregnant women in my time. You do not need to treat pregnant women too differently from your other clients. The human body is an amazing thing and your client will know her own limits.
So don't push as hard as you may with 'regular' clients and beware of abdominal work when they reach the third trimester.
