Framrap
Strength: DL worked up to 155# but I can't remember
Framrap (11 min AMRAP): 6 thrusters (65#) / 10 pull ups
6 rounds + 1 thruster
If this was a straight Fran, I wouldn't have picked 65# to throw around but since it was only 6 reps, I could do it. 65# has been feeling light for me lately but that will probably soon end. Everything about the WOD felt ok and I really had to manage my rests as thrusters is one movement that winds me.
DLs are another movement I have had some strain in the lower abdomen (before pregnancy) so I am careful with weight here now that I am pregnant. That being said 155# is still about 60% of my max so I thought it was fine. I didn't go any heavier.

Back squats in pregnancy
Strength: Worked up to 115#
21-15-9: hang cleans (65#) / front squats (65#)
6:20
Cleans and squats are some of my favourite movements but at 12 weeks pregnant, I've been reading that I should stop squatting below parallel. No more movements that make me grunt. Up until now, I've done an okay job of managing my cardio (although I'll admit, I could be better) and to keep my pace at "conversational". I build in mandatory breaks and I won't start again until my heart rate is a lower. I've been watching my sweating, making sure I don't overheat. Scaling has been difficult but I've been practising.
With that said, 65# is light for me in this WOD so I went rx'ed. I tried to go as steady as possible and broke up all my sets at least once. For back squats, I tried not to squat below parallel but my goal with these will be to maintain as much control and as good form as possible.

Oh Karen!
Karen (power WB at 10#)
10:41
I'm back posting but the cat's out of the bag... I am crossfitting while pregnant!
I've never done Karen before and I was bummed to be missing a benchmark WOD that I could have done rx'ed but I've got other priorities now! I've been reading a lot about how pregnant women shouldn't squat below parallel and after testing a few air squats out today, I did not feel comfortable with that movement so I stuck with power wall balls.

Light jerks
Strength: jerk... worked up to 95# (I think, no heavier)
4 rounds of 8 DB single arm snatch (35#) / 16 slam balls (20#) / 16 slam ball sit ups (10#)
13:36
Situps with the heavier slam ball caused some discomfort with the stretching in the belly so grabbed a lighter weight.
