However a word of caution needs to be added that it is important to stretch gently and not do any exercises that might put excessive strain on the joints. Check with your doctor or health care practitioner before doing any exercise program.
Tips for Maintenance of Good Pregnancy Posture:
1. Ensure you stand straight by imagining a string attached to the top of your head that someone is pulling on.
2. Try to keep your abdomen pulled in to reduce the curvature in your lower back and try to maintain a pelvic tilt.
3. Try to pull in your buttocks to ensure that your centre of gravity is over your hips (along with the abdominal muscles, this acts as a natural corset for the lower back).
4. Remember to keep your knees soft when standing as locking the knees can increase the amount of curvature on your lower back.
