Abdominal Exercises and Pregnancy
Abdominal Exercises and Pregnancy
In his new book Exercising Through Your Pregnancy (Human Kinetics, 1998), Dr. James Clapp, Director of Research for the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Metro Health Medical Center in Cleveland, Ohio, has compiled extensive research that indicates:
Women who continue regular exercise throughout pregnancy tend to have easier, shorter, and less complicated labors.
Starting or continuing regular exercise during pregnancy decreases physical discomforts and hastens recovery.
Exercise during pregnancy has both short-and long-term benefits for the fetus in utero. These babies tolerate the stresses of late pregnancy, labor, and delivery better than the babies of women in the control groups who did not exercise. All aspects of growth and development after birth for babies of mothers in exercise programs are equal to or better than those observed in the control groups.
That said, doing abdominal exercises during pregancy could be a safe choice, when preacticed correctly.
Certainly, whatever puts excessive strain on the back should be avoided, repetitions should be reduced and the executions of abdominal exercises in pregnancy have to be modified.
The abdominal muscles change during pregnancy. The outermost abdominal muscle, which is the support system for the back, separates (diastasis) due to the enlarging uterus pressing on it. This separation weakens the support system of the back and may cause back problems. It is therefore important to modify the abdominal exercises during pregnancy so that this separation does not increase.
So research properly what works best for you and your pregnancy as far as exercise is concerned.
Nonetheless, here's to health and a healthy baby.
