I really want to keep my abs and core in shape, I figure it'll probably help me feel better later into my pregnancy and during labor. My OB agreed that doing core workouts was encouraged in 2nd tri, just to avoid doing stuff on my back, and to be careful so my abs don't separate (especially in 3rd tri).
But she wasn't too specific on what I CAN do, so now I'm confused. Does anyone know what abs/core exercises are ok to do? I tried googling, but all the info is conflicting, like some sites say to do planks, and others say definitely don't do them, etc. Has anyone actually asked a physical therapist, doctor, pregnancy fitness instructor, etc and gotten a good answer on what to do?
