Where my Crossfit Mommies at?! 😁💪🏻

Question

Any other Crossfit Mamas due in October?! (Or other fellow gym rats/yogis) I just got this shirt today and I love it! I did CF up until 37 weeks with my first and now with my second (baby girl due 10/10). What are you Mommies scaling/modifying so far?? So far I'm already noticing a difference between what I'm scaling now verses my first pregnancy.

Answer

🙋🏼 me!! Lol I'm a FTM so I feel like I'm being super cautious, but my policy is just to listen to my body and if it's telling me to slow my roll then I'm more than happy to.. But so far I've definitely gone down in the weights I shoot for, doing step ups instead of box jumps to avoid any chance of tripping and falling, but any advice on what I should do to replace sit-ups? 
Overall I'm just happy to keep myself active, and I just love the Crossfit community!

Answer

Cool shirt!!! 
I have reduced weight when lifting, avoiding jumping (no more DUs - hate them anyway 😉 - box step ups instead of box jumps...).
Since last week I cannot do anything laying down on my belly anymore so no reverse snow angels for example. 
And thats all. Otherwise just lowering the intensity overall.

Answer

Do you ladies crossfit at home or the gym?

Answer

I'm still cross fitting (due Oct 1 with our first)! I get winded a lot quicker, so I've scaled back on weight slightly. I've cut out handstands and had to modify burpees and push-ups to make room for my growing belly. I've also added core exercises that focus on the rectus abdominis in hopes of preventing diastasis recti. Did you end up having to modify anything else with your first? I hope I can make it as far as you!
