Many viewers asked where the baby had gone and whether it was okay to do that whilst pregnant.
One person wrote: "The baby is it ok?"
"Ummm where did the baby go?" Asked another viewer.
A third person commented: "Legit question… wouldn’t that be bad for the baby? Like suddenly out of nowhere just tightening up everything… have studies been done on the shock?”
Tammy who is expecting a baby girl, reassured users it was perfectly healthy to do and that the baby was fine.
She wrote: "It’s actually recommended bracing your core like this throughout pregnancy, especially since I train a lot. Bubby is just fine!"
Bracing your core, is a term often used for weightlifting, and as Tammy exercises frequently, is used to performing this type of exercise.
states: "Abdominal bracing happens when you contract the muscles around your spine to create a rigid midsection."
As Tammy takes a deep breathe in she expands her rib cage, she then tenses her muscles which makes her bump look flat.
The NHS states that if you were already active before pregnancy it can be a good idea to do some stomach strengthening exercises to help with blood circulation and ease backache.
Not all core exercises are recommended for pregnancy, so it's best to do some research on which ones are safe for you and your baby.
