Ab exercises?

Question

So I watched a few videos on exercises to avoid mainly abs like crunches planks and anything twisting. That being said is that only for when u get bigger? And what ab exercises can I do? Also I do hip thrusts with a free weight. Is there a modified for when I get bigger? I put a pad in between now for cushioning.

Answer

My OB says you can do until you can't anymore (which is usually when you start to show) as long as you were doing them before pregnancy. But instead of focusing on abs, do full body exercises that focus on strengthening the core using with free weights. Once you get bigger, you'll modify what and how it feels right for you. For me, it meant a lot of legs and shoulders using light weights (10lbs)

Answer

Don't do a lot of abdomen exercise when pregnant it can cause the muscles to split and cause diastasis recti.
