So when I went to the doctors a couple weeks ago I asked if it was ok to use my ab lounge. She didn't say no. She said I don't suggest you starting a new exercise that you haven't done before you were pregnant.. Ok I NEVER exercised before I got pregnant.. Does she expect me to just sit around like before?

I want to hear from woman who DO use the ab lounge. Whether you did it before you got preggo or not. I've read online that woman have had healthy babies while starting a new exercise.

Thanks

    Its probably not a good idea cause it really works your abs

    'Tightening' your mid section might not be ideal right now. 1) its gunna keep growing 2) you might make it more prone to stretch marks if you weren't maybe bound to get them.

    I went over the sain thing in my head when I was thinking about buying firming lotion. Why would I buy it to firm my skin when I KNOW it HAS to stretch. Lol

    I was told stretch marks are from when you r skin is dry and stretches the skin and pretty much tears it.

    According to babycenter I am obese.. But I don't see it.

    It can happen for a number of reasons.

    Growth Spurt
    Weight gain
    Weight loss
    Dry skin
    scratching, even just sometimes.

    When my belly itches, I put lotion on vs scratching. I know in the end I will probably get some, but I can't say I wasn't moisturized, lol.

    I was told to not do "stomach exercises" after the first trimester. Because doing ab workouts while your abdoman is growing is going to screw with your body. It's going to keep growing so why try to stop it is probably why drs say not to.
