  I don't even do that - I basically roll out of bed onto my feet these days.

  But seriously, be careful with sit ups. As your baby grows, it pushes your abs apart - some people can actually feel the space that forms between their left and right sets of abs. You can cause serious damage if you strain too hard when your ab muscles are separated. Same goes for returning to sit ups PP before your abs have returned to their normal position.

  I still do the abs portion at body pump class, but those are just crunches, not a full sit-up. It's definitely getting a lot harder.

  THIS!  Although I do this about every hour in the night too.

  I attempted the roll and that was when I slid down the bid and almost fell over. Now it is the attempting just to sit up.

  Also be careful when laying flat on your back for sit-ups for similar reasons we aren't supposed to sleep on our backs anymore. I still do planks and side planks pretty intensely, but have avoided sit-ups since I hit the second semester.

  Yes, this!  I've been told by my midwife not to attempt them.  She doesn't even want me rolling up from bed....
