How Pilates Can Help You During Pregnancy

Prenatal pilates is tailored exercises to help women focus on pelvic floor, posture, balance, strength and coordination. Prenatal Pilates helps by keeping the muscles throughout the body strong, toned and connected to the core.  This aims to not only improve your pelvic floor strength but also help reduce pregnancy aches and pain.

What Happens During Pregnancy

During pregnancy, you are sure to hear about your pelvic floor.  These are the sling of muscles in our pelvis that help hold your bowel, uterus and bladder in place.  Your pelvic floor helps control bowel/bladder function and also plays an important role in the core and pelvic stability.  It is known being pregnant can place a lot of stress on your pelvic floor- so keeping this strong is quite important.

Your body will also undergo postural changes and the hormones produced can often make your joints more unstable.  This can often result in pain and reduced function- not ideal when you are preparing for a baby. Pilates exercises have a strong focus on all of the above.  Therefore this can a great form of exercise to help you during pregnancy.
