Well, its a good question. I have heard some moms saying they are “tired of holding it in all the time.” Or “they feel no need to impress their spouse.”
However, it is a good idea when you are lifting things, doing exercises, reaching for something, getting out of bed, coughing, sneezing, or anything that is considered WORK for the body to do, to bring in the belly.
If not, we moms create bigger bellies being increasing our DIASTISES. This is where that cute 6 pack muscle we all want to look ripped- splits during pregnancy, and even during incorrect abdominals (CRUNCHES – YIKES!)
