Answer
When I recommend exercises, they can be done by healthy people with no
restrictions from their doctor regarding exercise. The following is a basic
strength recommendation for someone with a healthy back, and no
pre-existing problems.
One really good exercise can be done during the full term of you
pregnancy. The cross crawl. Kneel on your hands and knees on a padded
surface. Tuck your pelvis slightly, moving your spine towards the
ceiling. Your abdominal muscles should tighten slightly. Make an
attempt to maintain this tucked position, although as your baby grows
this will seem more and more difficult. Slowly, paying close attention
to your balance, extend your right arm past your ears with your
fingertips moving in the opposite direction of your feet. When you feel
balanced, extend your left leg directly behind you while holding the
right arm up as well. Breath and hold for a few seconds. Repeat on the
other side, always working in opposites. You can do five on each side
every other day.
Keep in touch and let me know how you feel after doing this exercise
for a few weeks.
