Morning Ladies-
How's the week been? My work week was just about as low (awful) as it has been since I started this job. Definitely had a close my office door, give in to pregnancy hormones, and silently cry morning in there. Combine work with 3 days of no running water due to a major well malfunction- life was rough. Getting outside for regular walks and exercise has helped get through the week.
I got in a great hike with the dog on Sunday, long morning walks before work 3 days this week, and 2 days of Pilates. I keep checking for DR, and do no feel any an separation yet. That said, the corework I did on Monday (even heavily modified) made my torso feel very tight all day. I think I'll have to avoid any dedicated core-focused workouts for now.
Re: Fitness Friday - June 30
I am struggling not being able to push myself like I used to and with always being hungry.

Just reducing anything that lays on my lower abdominal and have cut out any abb straining exercise that can contribute to the muscle separation . Like planks and crunchesor full front sit up and abb cycles
And trying to keep front crunching pole moves to a minimum focusing on leg strength and upper body and keeping up with the cardio .
Still at contortions but will talk to midwife at our next appt. On Friday about how to proceed with stretching especially through the hips . I be level I'll need to stop being pushed into any kind of hip opening stretch like splits training soon because of relaxin and injury risk but that leaves shoulders which being hypermohike mine are already a Lil vulnerable and backs which with a now starting to show belly is just getting uncomfortable to train so need some advice on how to continue but so far just keeping up with moderfied version of my regular exercise .
