Okay workout--best before 20 weeks

"I rented this DVD from my local library and found that much of the Pilates work is done on your back--without modifications made for those of us past the 20-week mark. This DVD is made in Australia and does not follow the guidelines of the American College of Obstetricains and Gynecologists which says to avoid any exercises on your back after 20 weeks. I tried to make modifications, but since I'm not a Pilates expert, that was difficult. I really enjoyed the stretching parts and the Pilates that I could do, but I would have enjoyed the workout more if I could have done more of the exercies (currently 34 weeks pregnant). The instructor does comment that pregnant women should not be on their back long and so he spreads out the on-the-back exercises so that you would be on your back for several shorter sessions rather than one big long session. Just understand this workout's limitations before you decide to buy."
