You can any day get back to your nice abs once the bay is delivered. Till then let them be how they are.
• Never ever try difficult yoga poses which needs a lot of twisting a curling. Anything that makes your body twist a lot is not good for your baby. So avoid them when you are pregnant no matter how good they are for your health.
• Too much of anything can actually harm you. So when you do yoga you do in a limited manner. Do not exhaust yourself. Try to maintain the calm in you. You are doing yoga only to keep your body flexible. So just do that. Do not indulge yourself in doing more. Always skip the weird poses though.
