When it’s safe to do crunch-like exercises

Question

Trying to figure out when I have to start modifying workouts. I just found out I’m pregnant so still very early.

Answer

You’re ok in the first trimester. But after that as your abdominals stretch if you keep doing crunches you can make it worse and cause diastasis recti. In the second trimester there are some core moves you can still do: side planks are safe, front planks as long as you can control your core and back posture, c-sit position. 
I’m in the 3rd trimester now and not doing much for abs at all anymore. I just make sure to keep my core engaged and stable as best as possible during exercises and other activities.

Answer

If you have been physically active it is completely safe to continue such activity.

Answer

An work out aren’t very good to do after first trimester due to your abs moving to each side of your stomach making room for the uterus to come forward it could tear them but there are some pretty cool work out videos for mommas to be on YouTube and some apps
