Pilates and pregnancy
During pregnancy, the abdominal muscles and those of the perineum are stretched due to the growing baby. The more the muscles are stretched, the more difficult it is to contract them and maintain this contraction. These body changes can cause back and pelvic pain. In addition, the weakening of the perineal muscles can cause urinary losses during sneezing, coughing or certain movements. To prevent these discomforts, it is strongly advised to strengthen these muscles, which can also facilitate childbirth and accelerate recovery during the postpartum period.
Why is Pilates so helpful during pregnancy ?
Pilates is very effective during pregnancy, because it causes the belly and perineal muscles to work, which weaken during these nine months. This method of exercises significantly reduces the painful or heavy sensations in the back and pelvis in late pregnancy. Moreover, it helps baby to position correctly in anticipation of the big day.
