Can I still do sit ups @ 6 weeks?

Question

I have been avoiding doing sit ups @5 weeks. I am now 6 can I still do sit ups! Feel like I am bigger because i haven't done them?

Answer

I teach a core class at least once a week. Core exercises are actually good for pregnancy. As you get bigger, you just want to avoid laying flat on you back due to blood supply from the placenta. If yu e done core work beforehand, you definitely don't have to stop until you're bigger.

Answer

I was told yes you can throughout your first trimester. After that find other exercises that do not push your uterus out... Like sit ups. But u can do planks and other core exercises.

Answer

I was told no sit ups... Consult with your doctor... Don't worry too much your belly will grow regardless 😊

Answer

Sit ups are ok just do them on a ball or elevated once you hit 12 weeks

Answer

I would talk to your DR. However, I've worked out up until my due date with my daughter: My DR actually highly encouraged it. I still work out now with this pregnancy. As far as sit ups I would start looking into other ab work outs that do not require you to lay directly on your back.

Answer

Not sure but I know you can do planks all day lol
