@starbabyoffice: Post 22 | *UK 🇬🇧 MUMS STOP SQUATTING LIKE THIS ❌😭🔥* 🚨 *PREGNANCY SAFETY SERIES – PART 7* Topic: *IMPROPER SQUAT TECHNIQUE* Mamas… if you’re pregnant 🤰 and doing deep squats with your back rounded, shoulders tense, or your helper holding you the wrong way… *PLEASE STOP AND WATCH THIS* 😭🚨 This may look like a normal pregnancy exercise… but if your spine is rounded, your hips are dropping too low, and your helper is not supporting you properly, it can put extra strain on your back, pelvis, hips, and knees 😰 🙅‍♀️ *RED = IMPROPER SQUAT TECHNIQUE ❌* In the wrong setup, you can see: ❌ Excessive spine rounding ❌ Deep squat with strained back ❌ Helper strained posture ❌ Improper spotting ❌ Poor balance ❌ Shoulder and neck tension ❌ Pelvic pressure ❌ Too much stress on the lower back That deep squat + rounded spine + poor helper position can make the movement unstable and uncomfortable. And mamas, during pregnancy your balance is already different because your bump changes your centre of gravity 🤰 So when you go too deep, bend forward too much, or let your spine collapse, your body may struggle to stay stable. Your helper should NOT pull you, push you, or hold you in a way that makes you feel trapped or strained. ✅ *GREEN = SAFE: RECOMMENDED SUPPORTED SQUAT ✅* This is the safer setup: 1️⃣ *NEUTRAL SPINE ALIGNMENT* Keep your back long and steady. Avoid rounding your spine forward. 2️⃣ *CONTROLLED SQUAT DEPTH* Do not force a deep squat. Only go as low as your body feels comfortable. 3️⃣ *RELAXED SHOULDERS* Keep your shoulders soft, not tense or lifted. 4️⃣ *CALM HELPER SUPPORT* Your helper should stay close and support gently, not push or shake you. 5️⃣ *SUPPORTIVE EQUIPMENT* Use a wall, chair, wedge, bar, or stable support if needed. 6️⃣ *HIPS AND CORE SUPPORT* Move slowly and keep your hips stable. No sudden drops, no jerks. Real talk mamas 💯 Pregnancy exercises should feel controlled, supported, and safe — not scary, painful, or wobbly. If you feel pressure, pain, dizziness, pulling, pelvic discomfort, or back strain… stop and adjust. The goal is not to squat as deep as possible. The goal is to move safely with control ✅ No forced deep squats. No rounded back. No poor helper support. No wobbling. No pressure on bump. Just calm, supported pregnancy movement 🤰💛 💚 SAVE THIS before your next pregnancy workout 📌 SEND IT to your partner so they know how to support you 💬 COMMENT “SAFE” ✅ if you want more pregnancy safety posts 💬 COMMENT “SQUAT” 🏋️‍♀️ if you’ve done this wrong before ⚠️ Educational illustration only. Every pregnancy is different. Always ask your midwife, doctor, or qualified physiotherapist before starting or changing exercises during pregnancy. #PregnancySafety #PregnancyExercise #PregnancySquats #PregnancyWorkout #SafePregnancyMovement
