Ab workout question

lsongerlsonger member
in Pregnant after 35
So I am 14 weeks and will be a FTM. Have looked at lots of an workouts and all say not to lay flat on back. This am in my bodypump class asked my instr about abs and he said I should be ok to lay on back for crunches. I did put my jacket under one side to keep me from being flat. So am confused am I ok to do reg crunches or should I do them on the ball? My instructor is pretty good and has me on an incline bench etc for other floor work so I was surprised by this. Suggestions? Thanks!!

    When all else fails, ask your OB.  I am 23 weeks, and still lay on my back occasionally, although I cannot even fathom doing crunches!

    Usually your body will tell you when you can no longer be on your back. In my body pump class the pregnant girls usually do crunches on a bench that is on an incline.

    These are definitely the type of questions I would ask my doctor, especially since the answer might not be the same for everyone.

    I'm almost 29 weeks and have still been doing the ab workout at body pump class every week.  Any time we have things flat on our back I do it until I start to feel weird (if I do) and then I'll take a little break.  You can check with your OB to see what they recommend as well.
