I used to do sit ups regularly before and now im 10 weeks. Can i still continue or completely stop? Dont want to do anything risky for the baccha. Anyone kept exercising in first trimester?
No, sit-ups are generally not recommended during pregnancy, especially as your belly grows bigger. They can put a lot of strain. It's better to avoid them and opt for safer core exercises like pelvic tilts, but only if your doctor approves those too.
Nah, sit-ups are generally not a good idea during pregnancy. There are much better and safer ways to keep your core strong, like gentle pelvic tilts or certain yoga poses, if your doctor says it's okay. I focused on walking and gentle movements, and it helped me feel strong and prepared for my normal delivery without any unnecessary strain.
Actually, sit-ups are usually a no-go during pregnancy, particularly after the first trimester. It puts too much pressure on your abdominal muscles and can lead to a condition called diastasis recti, where your abs separate. There are much safer core strengthening exercises your gynac or a prenatal physio can show you. Always ask your doctor what exercises are appropriate for your stage.
I'm in my second trimester now and was wondering about this too! My belly is already showing a bit, and I feel like sit-ups would be super uncomfortable, plus I'm really worried if it's safe for the baby. Did anyone else completely stop doing them once their bump appeared? My doctor didn't explicitly say no, but I'm still feeling nervous about it.
Having PCOS made me extra careful about everything during pregnancy, including exercise. My doctor strictly advised against sit-ups as they can put too much strain on your core and pelvic floor muscles. It's always best to check with your gynac for what's safe for your specific body and pregnancy, especially with any health history like PCOS, to ensure everything goes smoothly.
Please, please avoid sit-ups. During my pregnancy, I was advised to be very cautious with any abdominal exercises because of some complications. Doing things that strain your core too much can be risky for you and the baby. Always check with your gynaecologist before starting or continuing any exercise routine, it's always better to be safe than sorry.
