Core conditioning class?

Question

I am 7 weeks. My dr appointment is still far away and I couldn't even see the trainer at my gym for a consult yet. What do you think? Would it be still ok  for me to attend core conditioning class? It's all about abs, core, back exercises. 
They say for the first trimester should be ok to keep up with workout routine but many say all abs exercises beside plank are a no-no 🤔

Answer

Just so you know, I am six weeks and I also haven't seen my provider yet but I am in the military. They put me on a pregnancy physical profile. On it I'm cleared for running, all aerobics, push-ups, weights, etc., but it specifically says "member is not allowed to perform sit-ups".

I dunno if that helps, but it's the guideline I'm going off of now.

Answer

I'm not a fitness trainer so don't quote me. I have been sticking with my regular routine, which includes some higher intensity stuff. However everything I've read says don't go harder than what is typical and stop to take breaks often and immediately if you are feeling icky. And drink lots of water. I would say if this class if a typical part of your routine it is okay, but if you are just now adding this, either take it SUPER slow taking all modifications or just wait until later. If you really need something to work on just google pregnancy safe core workout. I'm sure you'll come up with something. 😊

Answer

I would recommend speaking to whom ever will be leading that class. A properly trained coach will be able to tell you what is safe and is not. I do CrossFit and aside from my dr and hubby my coaches are the only other ones who know I'm pregnant. And sometimes they adjust a workout for me just to be safe.

Answer

Thank you all for your helpful comments! Even if I was doing that class often I think there are too many sits up, legs lifts and crunches, so I skipped it and after cardio I went to the weight room instead to lift and did plank.
But I'll still run and do aerobics 💪🏻
