I'm kind of shaken up about it though.

This morning at CrossFit, we did Nancy, which is 5 rounds of a 400m run/15 overhead squats. On my fourth round, I was at the end of my OH squats, squatted down, and the bar went forward a bit and the extra belly weight I'm holding out front dragged me over. I fell from the bottom of the squat right on my butt on the concrete and dropped the 45# oly bar from overhead. Approximately ten burly men rushed over to help me and I felt like kind of an idiot.

I don't know, no point to this post other than to vent. I'm just kind of embarrassed and shaken up about it. I didn't realize how much PG had impacted my balance but it's safe to say I won't be doing any more OH squats for awhile. Boo.

I have fallen before on OHS before and I was NOT pregnant! I was on my last round and fell back on my butt and dropped the bar onto my shins. My butt and pride hurt more than my shins.

Glad you are okay! I fell while I was running in rain during the 2nd trimester, and it was awful. Not that I was that hurt, and I only hurt my leg/not the belly, but I felt like an ass. I didn't even tell DH until he noticed the gigantic bruise on my thigh.
My balance is still a little shaky, and I haven't been pregnant for 4.5 months. It's so odd, although I'm sure part of it is due to a loss in core strength.

Glad you're ok.

I fell once at the regular gym doing back squats. I was used to doing them on the smith machine and moved to free weights without adjusting the weight down enough to make up for the lack of assistance...yeah...stepped off and fell right over onto my knees...only I wasn't doing CrossFit yet and had no idea how to safely get out of it.

Some big, buff dudes came over and saved me. My ego definitely hurt more than my skinned knees. The sad thing is, I totally could have squatted that weight, I just wasn't expecting it to be so heavy when I un-racked it
