There is no circumstance that the military will place a woman in a combat or field situation. Pregnant soldiers are given pregnancy profiles according to regulation AR 405-01 7-9.<br />However, expecting soldiers are encouraged to remain as active as possible and there are PT programs designed for pregnancy as long as the woman has a pregnancy void of complications and she has consulted her OBGYN. My pregnancy, for instance has been very healthy so far and I have not stopped my workouts. I have altered them to make them safer but I am feeling very energetic with all things considered :-)<br />Every pregnancy is different for every woman and generalized assumptions are never effective or appropriate. This program is news to me however and I don't necessarily think it's a bad idea for one person to try to empathize with another. At the very least, we could get a few chuckles from watching it. I hope this information clears up any misconceptions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8121731.post-11786656173532074162012-02-28T08:34:27.531-06:002012-02-28T08:34:27.531-06:00Nor should they be.Nor should they be.RobertDWoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12468867977431697913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8121731.post-86569471040614020592012-02-27T19:44:28.779-06:002012-02-27T19:44:28.779-06:00The pregnant soldiers aren't on the battlefiel...The pregnant soldiers aren't on the battlefield...Aaron Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07127938346431178387noreply@blogger.com
