Exercise for pregnancies in his last weeks. Part I

  • Leg exercise helps improve leg circulation and is done as follows:

Lie on your back and place your feet on a chair (so that your hips and knees form a right angle). Do not maintain this position more than five-ten minutes because, at this point of pregnancy, the child can compress the spine and the back of the pelvis.

  • The back stretch is done lying on your back with your knees bent and the soles of your feet resting on the floor. With both hands hold one leg behind the knee and close to the chest (or towards the shoulder if the abdomen already bulges a lot). Hold the position for 10 seconds. Do the same with the other leg. You should notice how the gluteal muscle is stretched

Wrong back posture

In recent weeks, the belly has grown and weighs so much that when we feel tension or pain in the back, we think that it will be relieved by bending more the lumbar and even pushing with the hands in the area that hurts us. It is a mistake that you should avoid.

Correct back posture

The pain will be calmed by bending forward with your knees slightly bent and your hands resting on them. Push with your lower back up to stretch the muscles and lower the tension. You can support the buttocks on a wall.

In any case consult your doctor before starting any exercise.
