Avatar f tn You want those muscles strong, but not inflamed. Light plank holds and exercise ball workouts are good. Plus I find its really easy to oull an ab with all the relaxin and round ligament pain. Let you abs relax drink something with some sugar and see if he gets moving around again.

I usually do cardio then a mixture of weights on different body parts. I ride my indoor bike and still do my boxing with my bad which has quite a bit of an abdominal workout.
Avatar f tn I'm 2 days away from my due date but I've been having inconsistent contractions for the last 2 days I'm exhausted. My mom is bring a exercise ball over for me to bounce on because I'm too tired to walk anymore.

6759135 tn?1420070652 I stood up too long while I was washing the dishes and my back was aching really bad. Sitting on the couch just made it worse. I rolled my exercise ball over to me and planted myself on that and began rolling my hips around and within 10 minutes the pain had disappeared. So glad I bought one. I read online they're good to have during pregnancy and that's no lie. Definitely recommended.
2141290 tn?1349033141 Well my question is.. Have any of you ladies used an exercise ball and how long after that did you improve in dilating?
Avatar n tn But you shouldnt be laying on your back after around the 2nd trimester anyway. Some suggestions are on the exercise ball or plank holds because it strengthenes your core. But you have to keep it mild, no straining. Anytime you feel strained, stop. Those ab ligaments are easy to pull while you have the relaxin hormones and closer to the end you definitely want to lay off the ab workouts. On the plus side, you can start again right after a natural birth, but not a c section.
