Any Crossfit Ladies?

Question

I just found out I was pregnant Thursday, and I'm about 4 weeks along. I do Crossfit regularly about 3 times a week. 
Any advice on what to do this early on? Do I need to scale my workouts already, and lift light?  Anything I should avoid right away?

Thank You :)

Answer

I crossfit all the way up to 39 weeks! 40 weeks now. I just got tired. 
I stopped doing burpees when they got uncomfortable. Just did sprawls instead. 
I stopped doing sit ups when they got uncomfortable, did side bends instead. Around 35 weeks I stopped running and would row or use the airdyne. 
Just listen to your body. I was going 5 days a week and never had any issues. 
Good luck and congratulations!

Answer

They say you can continue doing what you have already done, and in the first trimester you shouldn't need to change much. Best to talk to your coaches and doctors. I know woman who have Crossfited all through pregnancy. As they get further along they scale, and adjust movements to fit in their bump. One friend who is close to due just did the first open workout, but for the 'burpee' her hands were on a box.
Congratulations!
