Pregnant ladies today are much more mobile and exercise conscious than even 30 years previously. The medical fraternity encourages exercising during pregnancy if the mother is having a normal pregnancy.
Pilates is an ideal method of exercise during pregnancy as it is designed to strengthen the deep abdominal and pelvic floor muscles. There are a few criteria that the Pilates teacher needs to follow before teaching pre-and postnatal Pilates.

The question we get asked regularly is if doing Pilates during pregnancy helps with the actual birth. The Pilates breathing, the increased body awareness and the strength are all positive attributes that one can take into the delivery room.

From having taught many pregnant and post-natal women, we can tell that exercising during pregnancy facilitates the post-partum recovery, so it’s well worth the effort.
