I am 6 weeks pregnant with my 2nd child. I have been doing CrossFit for 2 years. I did not do CrossFit with my 1st child. I am getting abdominal pain kinda like ligament laxticity/tightness. Like my stomach is being really stretched. I also get pubic bone pain like my ligament has already got loose. I have had to pop it back in a few times already. Is that normal this early with your 2nd child? I do not remember feeling this this early last time. I almost feel like I did when I was 6 months pregnant and I would go running already at 6 weeks? Am I doing to much? I did a baseline workout today 500meter row 40 squats 30 sit ups 20 push ups 10 pull ups, then 21-15-9 of deadlifts with 105# and Box jumps. I felt fine doing it, took some rest didnt go to heavy. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Just my 2 cents, but definitely listen to your body and know that every body and every pregnancy is different (I know you know that, but it's easy to forget when we are used to a certain level of fitness, hear of others doing different things during their pregnancies, etc). I expect a lot of my body, but I would not view pelvis dislocations (as you described) as a normal thing or something to just overlook. Maybe your body just wants a little time to settle in to the pregnancy and then it will get back to working more normally. I've had my share of ups and downs as far as how my body has reacted to cf and exercise this pregnancy (my second), but I think it's important to listen to the small warning signs of a need to back off or adjust before there is a bigger issue. It would be easier to back off a bit now until things feel better than to have a major injury or issue that would take you off of exercise for the whole pregnancy. Good luck with it. Maybe it's no big deal, but I'd definitely check into it w the doc.

And my 2 cents based on my experience:

I developed pubic bone pain as well. It was very severe - thought it would prevent me from CFing through the pregnancy. I took one week with ZERO activity (gasp, I know) to let it rest. Then, as I worked back in, I cut out things that required a lot of strain on the pubic bone - I took out double unders, went light on squats, no running, no box jumps - for about a week. Then, I slowly started adding those things in one by one until I figured out the things that really set the pain off (for me, it was only running. I can do everything else on the list above, although I no longer do box jumps for safety). I haven't run since 18 weeks (am now 28), but I row or bike at every workout with no issues.

As far as the abdominal pain - I just recently started feeling that too. Same approach as above. I just know my limits and I find appropriate subs. I do not do exercises that cause a pulling, yanking, or tightening sensation on my abdominals -- this means I've had to cut out pulls ups, toe to bar, and knees to elbows. I do a lot of planks...Yes, it sucks, but the pain is worse.

Good luck.

Thank you guys so much! I have backed off a bit, cut my running back a lot and that has really seemed to help. Most all other workouts seem to be fine now that I cut the running back significantly. I am use to running 40 miles a week at a fast pace 6-7 min pace if I'm running 1 hour and much faster if I'm doing intervals, so I have slowed it down significantly and am only running n3days a week at a 9 minute pace... much better. I did not have to slow down so soon with my 1st one so it is hard to but smart too! Thanks again, and good luck to you guys on your journey of fitness and mother hood!
