Exercises for tummy while pregnant??

Question

Do any of you do exercises for your tummy?
I feel like it wouldn't be safe? I am trying to be active but I would hate to exclude the stomach area and be toned everywhere else??
advice ? thank you!

Answer

You can cause your abs to permanently separate if you aren't careful. It's called diastasis recti and if it's bad you need surgery to fix it. Leave that for after baby and focus on keeping the rest of your body toned if you are worried about your body.

Answer

I mainly stick with piston breathing while belly bumping but will also do things like paloff press.
The other thing to remember is that your core should be working throughout numerous other exercises, everything from a squat to a shoulder press requires some amount of core activation to ensure proper form.

Answer

You can do planks and sit ups in the first trimester, after that theres not really much you can do (plus it won’t matter much once those muscles start stretching)

Answer

My midwife said as long as you're not lying on your back (in later pregnancy) or feel sick/discomfort you're fine to continue the ab workouts! I did sit-ups on a ball up until last week when I was 38 weeks
