Top 7 Safe Ab Exercises In Pregnancy

These pregnancy ab exercises are safe in all trimesters and are a great way to strengthen your core muscles in a low-impact, baby-friendly way.

Diastasis recti is caused by the stretching of your abdominal muscles in general (as a baby grows) and will occur in almost all pregnancies.

The best exercises:

– Bird dogs – Parlof presses – Elevated plank – Modified side plank – Half kneeling parlof press

Having a strong core while pregnant can help: – Reduce upper and lower back pain – Make daily tasks easier – Make postpartum recovery easier – Minimize postural aches

What To Look For In Pregnancy Ab Exercises Remember that in pregnancy, the goal is always growth. This means that your exercises don’t need to be high intensity or geared towards fatigue, failure, and fat loss.

As your belly grows, some core exercises will need to be modified in order to make room for the babe. That’s okay and completely normal.

You’ll want the core exercises to come up off the floor after your second or third trimester.
