We stay in awe of what pregnant bodies can do! Watching a body make space and support a growing baby is nothing short of miraculous! But sometimes those bodies need support.
During pregnancy, a woman's body undergoes significant changes to support the growing baby. The spine often experiences an increase in its natural curvature to accommodate the shifting center of gravity, which can lead to back pain or discomfort. The pelvis becomes more flexible due to the hormone relaxin, which loosens the ligaments and joints, particularly at the pubic symphysis and sacroiliac joints, to prepare for childbirth. Muscles, especially in the abdominal and pelvic regions, stretch and adapt to the expanding uterus, sometimes leading to muscle imbalances or diastasis recti (separation of the abdominal muscles). Connective tissue and fascia also adapt, becoming more elastic to support these structural changes. However, these adaptations can sometimes result in tension or strain, particularly in areas like the lower back and hips. Together, these changes ensure the body can accommodate the physical demands of pregnancy and childbirth but may require support to ensure .
