Answer

I got diastasis recti from doing CrossFit my whole pregnancy. If you see a cone shape on your stomach when you do abs that’s your abs splitting so definitely stop.

Answer

They say you can continue to do what you did before you got pregnant but to not start something new. I’d still consult a doctor.

Answer

Yes almost 20 weeks and still doing my same ab workouts .
Incorporated more planks, weighted leg exercises that focus on obliques which I never did ore pregnancy!
Keep doing what you’ve done before pregnancy Bc your body is used to it.
Sometimes I get in 2x a day 30-min workouts Bc I have the energy. 
You look amazing 🤩 ❤️

Answer

So far I’ve only been doing planks because I’m scared like you 😐 I’m sure it’s fine because my body was used to it pre-pregnancy but still makes me nervous to try

Answer

I did all exercises in the first trimester. Stopped doing an crunches in the second trimester but continued plank exercises. I still did core activation work outs with the trx until I gave birth. I was still doing burpees in my second trimester. I would just do what you feel comfortable with. Towards the last few weeks of pregnancy I was doing jump lunges and I felt so sore under my belly afterwards and realized that was a no-no so I stopped.

Answer

I’ve been lifting for 7+ years but stopped immediately. I always thought I would continue. Nope too sick, can’t barely walk upstairs 😂
