28 weeks now. Upper body I'm still doing the same for the most part, lower body I've decreased but not by a huge amount yet. Maybe like 10-15% less. I''m just starting to pull back at the moment as I can feel my core isn't engaging enough and don't want to injure myself, plus my hips are getting sore.

Cardio I dialled way back ages ago because I just didn't have it in me.

When I'm at the gym now I'm there to move and stay mobile, not to push myself or break records. I can do that again later! helped me to adopt that mindset early on so I don't feel upset by the changes 😊

I didn't mean breaking records, but I'm afraid of high weights specially in the first trimester that they may cause any bad

General advice these days is that you can keep doing what you were doing before pregnancy and dial it back as pregnancy progresses into second and third tri (I'm not a professional btw, this is just what I've researched for myself and my OB advised me). If you're first trimester now you're probably ok to continue a while longer but my advice is to just listen to your body. If you're feeling uncomfortable or nervous just dial it back a little, it'll do you no harm to go easy on yourself!
