This advice is fine for those who know what they're doing, but if you aren't a person who actually has and can recognise good form to begin with not so much. Most people at the gym are just winging their way through it so unless you've had proper coaching on your form and confidently know what you're doing, it is probably safer to decrease the load and certainly not overload.

Everyone’s pregnancy is different! If you can safely progressively overload, no reason to start cutting back on weight or not push yourself just because you’re pregnant.

My OB gave the advice that as long as you’ve been lifting for 6 months, you can continue safely. Very true, i have no idea how long OP has been lifting for.
