My midwife told me that it's ok to do sit-ups until about the 20th week of pregnancy, and then after that, the muscles of the abdomen start to separate (to allow the baby/belly to grow), and if you do sit-ups then, you'll be exercising them in that separated position, and they'll stay like that even after the baby is born. She told me not to worry about my belly, and I could start doing abs exercises soon after my baby was born. Kathy I find this interesting.
