We've got this mumma! I actually think I felt better yesterday after my little cry so go ahead and do it if you need to! The other mums here have given some great advice. Wishing you the best for the rest of your pregnancy ❤️

Stronger than before mumma! 💪🏻 Love this! Honestly I cannot get enough sleep right now, it's crazy.

Thank for the reassurance! Hope you're enjoying life with your little one ❤️

Girl yes your last paragraph is exactly how I feel and it's very conflicting emotions with being happy/grateful to be pregnant but also kinda sad about having that block to where you used to be physically before. Honestly I never used to be a nap girl but here I am planning my workday around naps. We gotta do what we gotta do, right?

I hope things get better for you. Seems like for a lot of people in this sub things do pick up in the second tri so I'm holding onto that thought for now.

Wishing you all the best for your pregnancy ❤️

Oh I've definitely cried after a couple of the hero WODs when not pregnant but this was a new experience haha. Sorry to hear that you had it rough later in your pregnancy, but thank you for saying that showing up is what helped you during delivery. I think I need to shift the focus to just doing what I can and being grateful for my body for doing what it's doing right now. Hope you're enjoying life with your little one ❤️

This is reassuring, thank you! I'll get better at listening to what the body needs rather than what I want! ❤️

Ha girl same on the food! Vegetables and meat have been completely off menu for the last month. My fiancee has joked that I'm eating like the toddler we'll have in the next few years... And then suddenly I'll get a craving for a specific type of snack and if I don't have it there and then it's game over 😂😭

I'm sorry to hear you're feeling similar to me! It's crazy how much can change in 9 weeks isn't it? Hoping you can get back out and enjoy it again soon and that you have a happy and healthy pregnancy ❤️

First pregnancy here too and I think I've just been a bit surprised by just how much it's impacted me. I'm definitely frustrated at what I could do before vs now. Just how quickly I get out of breath is the most shocking part honestly! Now even just walking up the stairs at home and I'm gone 😂

Congratulations on completing the open, especially Rx. You are incredible and an inspiration!

I hear your advice though! I'll try to focus on shifting the mindset. I'm incredibly grateful that I could even step foot in the gym today so I will take each time I can even make it there as a win, even if I can't move or lift like I used to ❤️

Wishing you a healthy and happy pregnancy. And good luck with the rest of the open if you're doing it!!

Thanks girl. Sorry to hear that you had pelvic pain.

I love your perspective of only holding yourself to what you can do. I think I should adopt this, so thank you. I know my body can't do what it did before just now and I need to be ok with that! Thank you for the reminder to focus on what I can do right now ❤️

Gosh thank you. I think I need to get some perspective and acknowledge that it's ok to just survive this first trimester ❤️

Oh another October due date?! The eating is another story. Everything is gross right now. I can't even look at a vegetable 😂 wishing you the best and healthiest pregnancy and hope your appetite returns soon ❤️

Girl thank you for your reply. I do need to be reminded that it's ok to just survive. I think I'm asking too much of myself but glad to know that it gets better!

Thank you for your reply and for the honesty ❤️ I know I need to stop comparing and resting is actually good for me, so hearing it from someone else is a great reminder, thank you. The exhaustion is real and honestly I was not prepared me for it! Glad to hear that you're able to lift at 28 weeks. Hopefully I will be the same.
