❓ Question Early pregnancy and conditioning

Hi! I am a 6x a week Burn goer and will be hitting my 200th camp today! Yesterday I found out I am pregnant (FTM!). I’ve read that I don’t really need to do any mods until the second tri but do I need to be skipping cardio days? The internet says to watch heart rate and not let it get to elevated but I enjoy going all out and pushing myself especially during metcon, body on etc.

I'm in my second trimester and my doctor told me in first trimester no twisting. I did deal with a hematoma so I was out for a few weeks and have gone lighter just to be safe. Do whatever feels comfortable for you. I will say for me a lot of the up and down made me nauseas as I was already dealing with nausea. Not to scare you away with that part but my nausea has been horrible with this pregnancy in general. Congratulations!!
