<\/div>\n
1. Sitting up from Lying<\/strong><\/div>\n
It’s such a simple everyday move but sitting up in bed is something to modify. Why? It puts pressure on your rectus abdominus or “six-pack” muscles. These muscles you want to look after. They have to stretch and make room for your growing bump and can separate. This can be a normal part of pregnancy but also something you can help lessen the risk of. Avoid any exercises like sit ups or curl ups or sitting up from lying on your back will help with this.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
2. Lifting heavy weights\u00a0which puts strain on your back, core and can affect your posture.<\/strong>
\nThis can be hard to avoid if you have another young child. Try training them to walk or use a scooter more. Bring in the idea of sitting down for a cuddle rather than walking around holding them. I still have to carry my toddler but he now goes in a sling on my back which helps my posture and distributes the weight more evenly.<\/div>\n
Lifting also puts extra pressure on your pelvic floor which is already working harder than normal.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
3. Sitting in a bucket seat in the later stages of pregnancy.<\/strong><\/div>\n
Sitting on a sofa or almost any comfy chair can lead to your pelvis being tilted so you are not seated in the best position for either your lower back or to allow your baby to descend into your pelvis. Sitting on an exercise ball or a high backed chair will help you sit up tall so that baby can get into position easier.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
