Training your core during pregnancy + postpartum isn’t just “allowed”… it’s essential.
Your core is more than your abs it’s your diaphragm, pelvic floor, deep abdominals, and back working together to help you breathe, stabilize, and move well through every phase of motherhood.
And yes… sit-ups can be perfectly safe in pregnancy and postpartum when they’re:
✔️ Pain-free
✔️ You can control your breathing + pressure
✔️ You’re not seeing doming/coning you can’t manage
✔️ Progressed appropriately for your body
Avoiding all flexion for 9+ months doesn’t “protect” your abs — smart, progressive loading does. Strengthening your core helps with labor, postpartum recovery, lifting your baby, and feeling strong in your daily life.
If you’re unsure where to start, that’s exactly what I help with — individualized, movement-positive guidance that keeps you strong through every chapter. 💙
