So helpful, Dr. Perez! I’m struggling with all day morning sickness in week 8 and Was feeling so down about not being able to exercise at all. Looking forward to getting back into it as soon as I can!
My doctor told me to not lift more than 20 pounds and avoid squats and such which engage the core more. So, I got a bit scared, since this is my first pregnancy. But my body wants it, so I'll start slowly again and use my 10lb dumbbells. Almost done with week 13. Do you have an opinion?
As I discuss in the video, for most healthy individuals there is not a “weight maximum,” especially if the person has been doing that activity pre-pregnancy. As pregnancy goes on, modifications may need to be made to certain movements due to the physical, balance, and posture changes of pregnancy. Core protection is very important and I didn’t have time to get into it in this video but 360 breathing and pelvic floor work is a great way to keep a healthy core in pregnancy (& postpartum!) consider working with a trainer (or program) that specializes in pregnancy movements for education on this!

Can you please make a video on core and pelvic floor strengthening exercises that are safe to do during pregnancy? Thanks!

Thank you! Would love to hear about any recommendations regarding core exercise in pregnancy.
Is there a pelvic floor strengthening video on TH-cam or elsewhere you’d recommend? Thank you!
Dr. Are you pregnant with twins ? Just curious to know
