I am continuing crossfit workouts throughout my pregnancy 3/week average. I am almost in my third tri. My trainer has known for a few weeks now. Jut wondering if anyone else is in the same boat. Any tips with modifying workouts? I have stopped doing sit-ups. I am still unsure if it is okay to do thinks like plank holds/toes to bar etc. I am being careful with how heavy I lift and not pushing myself too hard. I suppose when running gets to hard I will stick with rowing. I am not sure if burpies are safe?
Anyone else in the same boat? How are you modifying your workouts?

We had a birth seminar at the gym last fall, so I have a list of all the things I can or can't do for each trimester.
I think the important thing is to feel comfortable doing all the exercises and if not, just scale down.
At what point should I stop the ab isolating exercises? .... And what is a good thing to put in their place?

@JDK625 it's up to you when you feel comfortable telling your coaches. I told mine when I reached 12 weeks. But I had done research on what specific crossfit exercises I should avoid during my first trimester.
