Good Morning! Happy Friday, thank you for stopping in and checking out what I have to share today. I am so thrilled to see so many of my mommy friends expecting, it’s safe to say there is a baby boom happening! Today I wanted to share some great news for each of you expecting mommy’s. A very common question I am asked is can I work my core and abs while pregnant? The answer is YES, you want to have a strong core for many reasons, for delivery and recovery. But there are many moves you want to stay away from to prevent separation in the abs or something called diastasis recti. First, I wanted to share a few moves you want to avoid then I’ll share a few moves that I’ve following that are safe.
Core and Ab Moves to stay away from
- All Crunches
- All Planks
- Push Ups
I am not a personal trainer these are just moves I have researched personally and try to avoid them as much as possible. I want to keep a strong core and abs through out my pregnancy.

I am living a healthy lifestyle while pregnant for many reasons,
- to feel my best,
- have a healthy baby,
- have a quick delivery, and
- recovery
Have a fantastic day and congrats to all you new moms, pregnancy is a miracle!!
