ab workouts while pregnant

Go or no go?
I read you can do them as long as you aren't lying on your back since it can cause restriction of oxygen to the baby and lower your blood pressure.

She didnt specify a reason or an alternative though. Maybe someone else here has a better explanation? At this point im 26 weeks and theres NO WAY possible id even be able to try. But i wanted to keep my normal workout routine in the beginning, which was very light. But little man is already almost too big for my body

Damn. I workout a lot just happened to almost get peer pressured into an ab class, but I didn't wanna cause any pain for the baby.
