5 Reasons You Want to Be Strong During Pregnancy

Posture
As your uterus grows and becomes heavier, it pulls your pelvis forward causing extra strain on your lower back.  As your breasts grow heavier, your upper backs being to round forward and your shoulders start rolling in.  Strengthening and stretching the right muscles can prevent and minimize poor posture.

Pain
The postural changes described above often cause pain, especially back pain. Strengthening and stretching the right muscles can prevent and minimize pain.

Function
As your pregnancy progresses, normal movements and activities will begin to feel harder.  If you are strong, you will be better able to handle the extra intensity and avoid injuries.

Confidence

Staying strong during your pregnancy will improve your physical, mental and emotional confidence
