A sixth user - who tried it out for herself in front of her partner added: "Haha my husband freaked out when I did this 😂."
Some followers were concerned about the safety of Tammy's trick, but the influencer assured them: "It’s actually recommended bracing ur core like this throughout pregnancy, especially since I train a lot. Bubby is just fine 😂 x."
Adding: "It’s like ‘hugging the baby’ lol I have to do it when I train, super good for your core doing it throughout pregnancy."

Meanwhile another person in the comments claimed: "For those shocked this is safe and it’s great for your core muscle during pregnancy."
According to Pregnancy, Birth & Baby, "a safe way to work the abdominal muscles and improve core strength is to draw in the muscles without moving your spine – as though sucking your belly button in, towards the spine."
However, sit ups and crunches are not recommended and it's always recommended to seek specific professional advice from a medical or fitness expert before engaging in any abdominal exercises during pregnancy.
