A Pregnancy Safe Ab Workout To Keep You Tight and Toned

I have always loved working my abs before I got pregnant, but it can be hard to find a pregnancy safe ab workout.

Once I got pregnant I knew that I wanted to continue to work on my abs, but I needed to be careful so I didn’t cause Diastasis Recti.

In your first trimester you can do all of the same moves that you were doing before.

Once you hit the second and third trimester though some workout moves will need to be adapted. This is just so you don’t harm yourself or the baby.

I have a fitness tab that you can check out, but Allie from My Perfect Pregnancy Plan has an awesome course that goes into depth about your nutrition during pregnancy and also lots of workouts!

Her workouts will help you prepare for your growing body and helps ease the aches you will have during pregnancy. She has a workout for every stage of your pregnancy and it is so worth it to take her course!

To start off if you keep trying to crank out those full planks and crunches you could do some harm to your stomach called Diastasis Recti.

Diastasis Recti is a separation in your abs also called the “mom pooch” According to WebMD about 2/3 of women will get this.

Most of the time it happens because of pregnancy with your belly growing rapidly. Also doing incorrect ab exercises could cause this to happen.

Luckily if you do get it you can do some recovery on your abs. Check out this recovery post that I did to help you moms out there!
