Leg Raise

Don't do this after your c section, wait a few months first, take the time to relax and enjoy your baby then once they are a little more independent, take some of that time back. I don't think if can hurt your womb, more your back if done incorrectly but you shouldn't do it in early pregnancy as it could cause miscarriage.

Prenancy limitations typically include contact sports, downhill skiing, scuba diving, and horseback riding. Although I don't see why one would want to do an abdominal routine much in pregnancy, as being on your back restricts oxygen, it's not likely to cause a miscarriage. Miscarriage, the vast majority of the time, is result of a genetic defect of the fetus. Miscarriage caused by physical trauma is normally quite severe trama.



Me? The only pregnancy I didn't lose I did abdominal work. It was also the only pregnancy that I worked out.



Doing this after a c-section, however, IS dangerous - This specific move is targeting the area where you are operated on during a c-section. Until you have approval from your doctor, who feels you are healed from surgery, I would avoid this all together.. Unless you want to your surgical site to open, uterine rupture, and/or a prolonged healing timeline. Your doctor may say AOK after 6 weeks, but they may say wait three months.. This depeneds on how you're progressing, the incision you had, etc.



That said, an OBGYN or midwife is better to make a call about possibility of a miscarriage.

That said, I did cat rolls mostly for my abdominals. That way you're not on your back. Not much, but just enough to feel the endorphines. I couldn't imagine doing a normal routine with pregnancy because you don't see results like you do when you're not.

Please does anyone know how many you're supposed to do?! And do you do a lot in a row like you would with crunches or do you assume the position and hold it for x amount of time like yoga?
