Like the others said, I think you can continue with the exercise you are doing.

When I conceived DD I was doing kick boxing, training with a personal trainer and running 10kms a day. I continued with this until I found out I was UTD which by then I was about 4-5 weeks along. I still continued to run until about 12 weeks pregnant, including doing a 10km fun run that I was already entered into before finding out I was UTD!

I also stopped doing sit ups immediately, as I was advised by my personal trainer that it was definately a no no when UTD.]]> Sun, 14 Mar 2010 17:22:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32250&PID=967790&title=exercise#967790 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32250&PID=967741&title=exercise#967741 Author: Smiles

I think you're fine while you're TTC. But once you're UTD you shouldn't do any sit ups at all...when I was preggers that was the one thing they told me i definitely couldn't do. You're tummy is trying to expand yet by doing sit ups you're tightening it...not good. Also pree ups rightening the abs too so you should restrict these when UTD.

But like I said I wouldn't worry about it while you're TTC.

I used to do body balance at the gym which involved some core strength exercises. I was told it was safe to continue them until about 12 weeks when the baby moves up out of the pelvis, then some changes were made to the exercises.

Hi all,
So perhaps I'm getting a bit paranoid, but normally I start my day with about 80 sit ups, 40 full press ups and some other core exercises Now I'm wondering if I should be doing that if I'm TTC.
I remember ages ago my father said that the reason girls had "girl press ups" (on the knees) and boys had the full press ups was that full press ups were bad if you were pregnant or trying to conceive.

Any idea about that? I don't want to give up my exercise (can't run as I have bung knees) but if it will hurt my little sticky bean then I'll stop and find another way to work out.

Cheers
