I try to roll on my side and then help myself get up by using hands. I have heard you are not supposed to use your stomach muscles when PG

Ooh glad I read this cos I'm still using my tum muscles to get out of bed. Eek why are you not supposed to?
I will be rolling now!

I have read that you can overstrech them and then they wont go back to how they used to be before!
I didnt know it either, but obvisouly there is advice not to do push-up etc, makes sense to me.

Thanks for putting me on to that!

Ooooo I never knew that, I use my tummy muscles all the time. I'm terrible for just jumping up and stretching about for stuff. Best sort myself out and become a couch potato for the next 5 months!! haha xx
