Wrist pain during planks and push-ups is common in pregnancy and postpartum because the hormone relaxin loosens ligaments. Try doing planks on an incline, placing your hands on a rolled yoga mat, or using kinesiology tape for stabilization.

Wrist pain is definitely more common during pregnancy and postpartum because of the hormone relaxin. So here's what you can add an incline using a chair, bench or countertop, or roll up a yoga mat and place the heels of your hands on the yoga mat. This will take the pressure off the wrists. You can also add kinesiology tape to your wrists. This will help stabilize the wrist while also still allowing full range of motion. I hope you find these tips helpful.
