Similar to a marathon, labour requires training and preparation and time to recover and recondition afterwards. Evidence from the American Association for Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (ACOG) shows that people who exercise regularly throughout their pregnancy have shorter more gentle births, recover quicker and return to their pre pregnancy fitness faster. Practicing Pilates helps maintain and improve the condition of both your abdominal and pelvic floor muscles. Pilates will not place strain on the joints or back but will in fact strengthen the back, the stomach and the muscles around the pelvic area - allowing for an easier pregnancy, delivery and recovery.
Exercises can be adapted at each stage of pregnancy to allow for gentler or more focused exercise.
