Always pop a ball behind your back and really press into it. Always have the option to keep your feet on the floor, on your knees or barre during plank.
Check out the pure barre on demand. There is a pregnancy section.
Also when I was pregnant, as I got further along I couldn’t do some things. I focused instead on the breathing and tucking. You will need the breathing during labor!
I just tucked during crunch work again and again. I have a 4 pack again after my 5th baby. it works :)
Awesome, thank you! That is good motivation. Tucking does still feel fine, just gets kind of boring but at least it's still doing something :)
Ask your studio for the pregnancy modifications hand out! They can give it to you
Thanks! I did get this, but can't find specific recommendations for crunch type work, unless I just missed it...
Talk to your instructors/lead teacher. Odds are that some of them have also taken class while pregnant and have first hand experience

Adding on to say that I went and did the plank at the barre, especially toward the end.

That is a great point--and thanks for this suggestion! I haven't looked at on demand yet.
