I exercise regularly but since I am 2 months into my pregnancy, my mother asked my avoid ab exercises for sometime. Is this true? Any particular form of full-body exercise I can continue during my pregnancy?

first 3 months and last 3 months are very delicate and formative years. doing simple walks or basic stretches will be good. Ab exercises are rigorous even in basic forms hence its better to avoid. your belly is going to get bigger. so by not exercising now it's not that you will lapse into a mess. being healthy is a lifestyle necessity but being logical and practical is more than a necessity. I think yOUr mom is right. you can find Lamaze classes in your area tht will help u to keeP fit in your pregnancy. even the DVD of Lara dutta of yoga during pregnancy is good.
