Why Does It Happen
It is fascinating how the human body can adapt and auto-regulate himself to welcome a new life.
Despite, this is an amazing and natural process, it can be extremely challenging from a physical perspective.
Due to an increase in body weight your posture will change leading to greater pressure on the back and other joints.
Your ligaments will become looser to enable greater pelvic floor mobility, which of course is vital to give birth. Despite, the increased ligaments laxity is an important ‘auto-regulation,’ it often creates postural imbalances and pain.
