QuestionHello, Ms Helene Byrne.
I understand the questions must be simple and direct, which my former question was not. I'll follow the guidelines this time. So...
1) Is it ok to do crunches/sit-ups until the 10th week of pregnancy?
2) After the 1st trimester, all exercise for the abdomen area is off-limits. Is this true?
3) After a normal labour, when is it ok to resume intensive abdominal exercises?
I hope I've fared better in the question formulation. Thank you for all your help,
Sara
Answer1. yes
2. no
3. after core strength and stability has been re-established.
Really, I can't supply you with info for your novel. That's not what this forum should be used for. Please read a book on prenatal exercise to get all the details that you need.
