I did a few sit ups at the gym before i knew i was pregnant and now im freaking out a little. Im only 5 weeks. Could that have caused any harm? matlab i feel so guilty now.
I actually did a few sit-ups before I realized I was pregnant and panicked like crazy! Everything turned out perfectly fine, so don't worry too much. But yes, now that you know, just avoid them and do light walks instead.
Honestly, why take the risk and end up paying for emergency doctor visits or extra scans? Pregnancy tests and hospital bills are already so high. Just pause the sit-ups for now and stick to simple walking.
Oh, I totally understand how scary every little movement feels during the first few weeks, I was terrified too! Try not to panic, but do stop doing sit-ups for now as they strain your abdomen. Talk to your gynac to get peace of mind.
Oh, definitely avoid sit-ups! In early pregnancy, it's better to rest, eat some nice comforting snacks, and do very light walking if u want to stay active. Leave the heavy core workouts for later!
Since I have PCOS, I was extra cautious about everything in my first trimester and completely avoided sit-ups. While they might not directly cause a miscarriage, putting heavy pressure on your lower abdomen in early pregnancy is best avoided. Better to ask your doctor before doing any core exercises.
