It's true that we want to avoid core exercises such as crunches, planks, sit-ups or anything that causes doming of the stomach. These exercises can cause diastasis recti leading to "Mummy Tummy".

However, there are different layers of the core and we do want to keep the transverse abdominus and pelvic floor strong.

In this short 3 minute video I show you the BEST EXERCISE to strengthen the transverse abdominus and pelvic floor during pregnancy to help support the stomach (resulting in less back pain) and will help you prepare to close any abdominal gap after birth and bounce back faster!
