Connect the Body Dots

🤰🏽Pregnancy is a beautiful thing, but it can literally change how your body functions.

Our body commonly adapts, this "pregnancy posture”. Our weight will shift more forward, causing a little bit more lordosis in our middle spine. We can develop tightness in our outer hips, our shoulders come more forward, and you may notice a few other things. Visually you can see this when our belly stays pooched forward, our hips shift forward, and our whole upper body comes forward (This will vary from person to person).

🫀Internally things have adjusted as well. Our pelvic floor and abdominals are more lengthened making it a little harder for them to work. This can keep us somewhat in this pregnancy posture after we give birth. You can notice this months or years after child birth if you don’t learn how to use these muscles again. Muscles are trainable if you give them what they need!
