I told her it was very early so I didn't want anyone else to know, but that I thought it was important for her to know. She kept it totally quiet, but I was glad she knew.</p> <p>Congratulations on your pregnancy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-almost-cried-at-the-gym-today#post-339920 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 06:53:17 +0000 tlcbaby 339920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everybody! I do plan to tell him after our appointment on Tuesday, I wanted to wait until we went to the doctor and hopefully hear that everything is going okay. </p> <p>CrossFit is pretty intense, but everything can be scaled to a level you are comfortable with and it will be much easier when my coach knows and can probably make suggestions for how I can modify. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-almost-cried-at-the-gym-today#post-339873 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 01:52:31 +0000 pinkcupcake 339873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also think telling him privately is a good idea. You don't want to over exert yourself :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-almost-cried-at-the-gym-today#post-339817 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 22:32:48 +0000 blackbird 339817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's really awkward when your coaches don't know! It probably is best to let him know so he leaves you be, though. Letting my coach know was SUCH a huge load off, especially when we were PRing and stuff, or around week 8 when all the up/down of burpees made my head spin too much</p> <p>Hang in there, it gets better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-almost-cried-at-the-gym-today#post-339736 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 19:48:14 +0000 prettylizy 339736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awe, don't cry, it's amazing that you are working out. I agree, you should pull your instructor aside and let him/her know so that they can modify for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-almost-cried-at-the-gym-today#post-339717 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 19:23:41 +0000 Sammyfab 339717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is almost what happened to me! We were doing a hero workout and my time was 7 minutes slower than my PB and my coach was like, it's ok...you'll do better next time. I told him I was pregnant and he said, "in that case, you did awesome!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-almost-cried-at-the-gym-today#post-339716 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 19:20:20 +0000 chopsuey 339716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Isn't crossfit pretty intense?<br /> I would take your coach aside and let him know so he chills and doesn't yell at you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-almost-cried-at-the-gym-today#post-339715 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 19:14:46 +0000 shopaholic 339715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww....u are amazing ur still doing crossfit! I would tell the coach in private though about the pregnancy and tell him to keep it a secret. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-almost-cried-at-the-gym-today#post-339713 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 19:09:46 +0000 tlcbaby 339713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nobody at my CrossFit gym knows I am pregnant yet (we are waiting until after our first doctor's appointment next week) so I've been just trying to keep the weight and intensity low.</p> <p>Today we were doing pushups with our feet up on a box and the coach kept yelling at me to go lower. I know he didn't know I was pregnant and that normally I push myself much harder, but he kept trying to encourage me and I almost started crying because I was so frustrated. I seriously had to hold back the tears.</p> <p>I just wanted to scream "I am pregnant" and then he would probably think I was awesome for doing pushups at all instead of yelling at me! </p>
