Can I work out my butt while pregnant ?

Question

So I’ve always had a perky butt without working out but I hear pregnancy makes it smaller kind of. I’m only 13 weeks and I’m wondering if I can start working out my butt area to maintain it?

Answer

Continue to keep your glutes engaged. Squats are great to strengthen and prepare for labor too. Stay active go for walks. Sit on a yoga ball sometimes instead of chair. Maintain proper posture. The “mom butt” happens because the increased curvature makes it common to counterbalance by tucking the butt under so those glute muscles “shut off” become weakened from not being used and the low back and thighs over compensate. As long as you keep using those muscles, you’re good 👍🏽

Answer

I've kept up with my HIIT workouts and I'm 29 weeks. Lots of squats for my backside. Check with your doctor first but I wouldn't see why you can't maintain your exercise routine with some modifications as you progress.

Answer

I've never heard of pregnancy making your butt smaller. It's always made my hips and butt bigger. There was a girl at work that became pregnant, and her butt got bigger also. The hormones usually cause this. I wouldn't really worry about it. Especially since you've said you have a naturally perky one. Usually you'll only see someone lose muscle tone if they worked out prior to pregnancy, and then quit during pregnancy.

Answer

You can work out, but make sure not to over do it. A cousin had trouble because her abs were too strong when she went into labor. Talk with your doctor about how much you can do

Answer

If you were working out before, you can keep it up. 
If not, you shouldn’t just jump right into weighted workouts, especially if you’ve never done the pre-pregnancy. Start with body weight if you’re super worried about it

Answer

Im going to start doing these(meant to post the pics together 😅) my butt has gotten so flat in the last few weeks. Even with jogging and weights. Lol. I clearly need to focus on my butt.

Answer

I know a bunch of women that work out(weight lifting and cardio) all though out their pregnancy.  You can still work out as long as you do not over do it.

Answer

Pregnancy can make you lose muscle tone and gain weight if your workouts slow. Light regular exercise, including strength training that would strengthen and build glutes, is recommended during pregnancy.
