Help! Exercise? Or no!

Question

I'm 10 weeks pregnant and I want to know if it was safe to do some sit ups and just basic excerise? Please don't make fun of me its my first baby and my brain thinks I'm squishing my baby or something. Is it also safe to sleep on your tummy. I'm not really showing to much yet.

Answer

In our Army Pregnancy PT Program, we still do sit-ups until it's uncomfortable or not possible. That along with everything else that was normal before being pregnant. After a bit we just modified exercises to fit our pregnancy needs. If you were doing it before, there's no need to stop unless it's uncomfortable, then you can just find an alternate exercise to do. 😊

Answer

Exercise is fine. I've done it all the way through so far. No heavy lifting or anything that will over stretch you. Lunges squats ect. And sit ups won't he possible a few more weeks down the line lol. Keep bully our heart rate lower than your normal work out. I keep mine under 140's. Hope that helps.

Answer

Exercise is safe as long as your body is already used to it. Women body building continue to lift weights and everything. However they don't recommend picking something like that up because it can cause stress on your body and baby if you aren't already used to doing it. And yes you can sleep on your tummy until you're not comfortable. If it makes you nervous they sell pool float looking things with a hole cut out for your stomach so you can still lay like that even when you start showing.

Answer

Just not sit-ups, you scan squat and do everything else in moderation. Make sure your keep an eye on your heart rate and body temp then you are fine. You can go to the doctors and check what you can and can't do.

Answer

If you're used to exercising it's generally fine, in fact, encouraged,  to keep to your normal routine for the most part. Some exercises will need to be changed up down the track, and you need to be paying attention to your body and slowing down when you need to.
I'm fortunate enough to have two great personal trainers at my gym who know which exercises to change up for me - but, apart from a few changes in ab exercises, I'm still lifting weights, doing cardio, Pilates, squatting, benching, etc.
Squatting is apparently very helpful in strengthening your pelvic muscles.

Answer

Exercising is fine as longas your doctor hasnt said you are on pelvic/bed rest. but you should avoid ab exercises or anything that requires for you to twist your mid section past first trimester.
