@AEG84 I wouldn't sweat not being able to go to the gym. I'm going into week 11 and I haven't been able to go for a couple weeks because of the nausea. The last time I went, I couldn't finish the WOD: heavy OH squats, heavy KB swings, and pull-ups. I got dizzy after my second round of swings and couldn't catch my breath. I called it quits for the day, my coach thought I was a beast and finished early, man was he wrong. I ended up telling him that I was preggers, so he'd take it easy on me (he's hardcore and competing at the Eastern Regional NPGL comp tonight in CA). I haven't been able to get myself to the gym since, and I hate it. Hopefully I hit that "turning-point" soon.
Anyone having to modify movements yet? The only think I'm slightly modifying is my snatch at this point to make a lower contact point in my hip crease rather than right on my abdomen. So far everything else is still doable though!
I haven't had to modify movements yet, but I have had to scale way back on cardio. I started using a heart rate monitor and realized that I hit 140 bpm wayyy before I thought I would. I feel like such a slacker, but I know it's important not to overwork myself.
I stopped doing burpees now, cause I'm showing and don't feel comfortable throwing myself on the ground, so I do push-up with the parallettes instead. My belly is starting to be in the way too when I do cleans, snatches, ... I'm still getting out of breath super fast and have to take it a little easier.
I finally got back to the gym this week after almost two months of nothing (too sick). I don't have to modify anything yet, but I'm not going for time anymore - just focusing on my form and breathing. It feels so good to sweat!
I've stopped doing burpees. The idea of flinging myself to the ground on top of my baby frightens me. Everything else I've kept the same just scaled back on the weights a little and no handstand push-ups.

I miss it SO MUCH
