  I've been crossfitting since Day 1, and I'm almost 36 weeks pregnant. I feel so much better after exercise, so I haven't given it up : I didn't even have to moderate anyway weight until the past 23 weeks; I still am doing alot of the movements with minimal scaling. Currently I crossfit 4x a week 2 days on/1 off/2 on/2 off and walk 45 min1 hour on the days I don't crossfit

  That's impressive!! I'm happy you feel that good and so strong. Is this your first pregnancy?

  I'll be 37 weeks tomorrow and am still going to spin twice a week. I do find that the loud music irritates him and he gives me rib shots and crotch shots. And I've had to raise my handlebars as high as they will go. I also can't do the jumps anymore, but standing climbs are still good.
  
  Spin is about the only cardio I can do anymore. I hate the elliptical, and running hurts my hips too much.

  I'm a FTM in her late 30s.  Still working out 5-6 days a week.  I spin, do bootcamps and HIIT training.  As a PP said I'm still able to do everything (e.g. pushups and burpees) with minimal modifications.  I did notice, however, that I'm now beginning to feel like I might need to go low impact.  Something about jumping around with a 5+ lb human inside pressing on my kidney is becoming bothersome.  Despite the slight discomfort, I plan to be in the gym until the day I give birth.

  FWIW...one of my friends is in her 40s is giving birth to her third child and is due a week after me.  She is still teaching classes such as aqua spin and turbo kick.

  I'm also a spinning instructor. I checked with my dr at my first appointment and he said it was perfectly fine. I teach 3x a week(it's my part time job) and I feel great! I just skip the sprints...The dr did say not to let my heart rate get too high...so I jump off the bike during sprints....
