Is it ok to do ab exercises in your 1st trimester?

Re: Ab Exercises
Yes,it's fine. You just have to lower your intensity. After the first trimester it's a big no-no.
Everyone is different though so check with your doctor first.

I'm surprised you were all told no. My doctor is super limiting on exercise and told me if was perfectly ok at a moderate level in the 1st tri only.
I'm also a personal trainer and have done pregnancy certifications, worked with pregnant clients and was never told no by any of their doctors ( I always get clearance from their doctors). BUT as I said, everyone's situation is different so your doctor is going to know best for you.

Re: Ab Exercises
Wow, just wondering then if your doctors said no to all exercise in the first trimester or just abs?
My doctor said moderate exercise , nothing more than what you had been doing, but iddnt specifically mention anything with abs.

said to take it easy on exercise (assuming I was already working out before PG, if I was not working out before it was recommended I not start) but no abs at all
