Anyone know any exercises to tighten and tone your belly while pregnant? The top of my belly is rounded and hardened by the bottom is flat and hangs like a pancake, it's disgusting and I'm self conscious about it. I'm obese on a chart. I'm 22 weeks 6 days I'm 5'5" and weigh 201 pounds? I've only gained 7 pounds so far since my pregnancy. I just want to look more pregnant so I can embrace it a little more people keep trying to touch my stomach and I feel like I come off rude because I freak out. I'm worried they're gonna feel how fat and gross I am (I try to hide it with clothes and wear leggings over the gross part. Any ideas? I'm really embarrassed about my body I gained 40 pounds at my desk job then I got pregnant and I'm afraid to work out and hurt my baby. OB said I can't lift or do anything vigorous. I can swim, walk and go on the elliptical is what he said, but I want something else to focus on tightening my stomach!
