Pilates while TTC

MAbride0808

I am trying to get more active and have a pilates DVD that I love.  I know pilates is focused on core work.  Is it okay to try when TTC and going through treatments or should I stick with my yoga?

I think it depends on your treatment.  IUIs are probably fine, but not when you are stimming for IVF.  Your ovaries are too swollen.

I have heard and read that pilates is not good while TTC... too much pressure on the lower abs and groin/hip areas.  Those areas need to be loose and open while TTC and pregnancy and pilates tightens them up.  I'd stick with yoga for you now.  It will be a great workout for you when getting back in shape after baby!
