Besides the obvious baby bump and weight gain, the musculoskeletal system undergoes many unseen changes during pregnancy. As the belly expands, the abdominals stretch and the back muscles shorten, the diaphragm changes to accommodate the growing belly, affecting breath mechanics. The rib cage slides backwards out of the way of the pregnancy resulting in short, shallow chest breaths. Things don’t just snap back into place after the baby arrives, and the challenges of going back to working out after childbirth go far beyond just finding the time and energy as a new mom.

Having a baby is undeniably one of the most beautiful gifts bestowed on women, but there are many aspects to consider. One of the obvious and utmost important factors is an expectant mother’s physical health and well-being. A woman should prepare her body for pregnancy by living a balanced lifestyle that includes good nutrition and exercise.
