Exercise..!?

Question

I’m 9 weeks and I am a dance teacher, I have always been very active and I dance almost everyday. I don’t wanna do anything to hurt the baby, my doctor told me I could keep dancing like normal. When I got home tonight from dance I had some cramps in my stomach and it made me super nervous. I’ve been taking it easy at dance but sometimes I forget that I shouldn’t be doing as much. Is cardio and ab workouts fine to do?

Answer

Perhaps you didn’t drink enough water!

Answer

I was told to continue doing what I was doing before, but with restrictions on core exercises. The only thing my doctor told me to quit was crunches and sit ups and like exercises. Every doctor is different, and every pregnancy is different. I would just listen to your body. It will tell you when you're doing too much

Answer

I am 30 weeks and also a dance teacher. I have had to back off a lot now mainly because I physically can’t do what I want to do but in my early stages I remember that same feeling and fear of hurting the baby but my OB said that the baby is so protected so that isn’t a problem. I have pulled soooo many muscles though so just be careful of that. It gets harder to admit to yourself that you can no longer do everything and you will go through times of struggle to even make it through a class due to fatigue but be kind to yourself and don’t be afraid to ask for help :) do you have an assistant or can you ask for a junior assistant to demonstrate for you?
