@starbabyoffice: Post 36 | UK 🇬🇧 MUMS PLEASE STOP DOING KNEE LIFTS LIKE THIS ❌😭🔥 🚨 PREGNANCY SAFETY SERIES – PART 36 Hook: “Protect your lower back.” If you’re pregnant 🤰 and doing knee lifts while leaning sideways, twisting your pelvis, or letting your balance go… STOP RIGHT NOW 🚨🚨 This looks like a “simple light exercise”… but when your spine is curved, pelvis is tilted, and your balance is poor, it can put unnecessary strain on your lower back, hips, and pelvic area 😰 🙅‍♀️ RED = IMPROPER KNEE LIFT TECHNIQUE ❌ ❌ Curved spine pressure ❌ Lower back strain ❌ Pelvic misalignment ❌ Poor balance ❌ Wobbly movement ❌ Too much pressure on one side That sideways lean = your spine is not stacked, your pelvis is not stable, and one small wobble can make the movement unsafe 😭 And mamas… pregnancy already changes your balance, posture, hips, and core strength. So please don’t force exercises that make you feel unstable. Your midwife / physio would probably say: “Mum, slow down, support yourself, and keep your posture safe.” 🤰✅ ✅ GREEN = SAFE: RECOMMENDED SUPPORTED KNEE LIFT ✅ This is the safer setup: 1️⃣ NEUTRAL SPINE Stand tall, keep your back long, no rounding, no twisting. 2️⃣ STABLE PELVIS Keep hips level. Don’t let one side drop or twist. 3️⃣ PARTNER SUPPORT Your helper should stay close and support gently, not pull, push, or shake you. 4️⃣ SLOW CONTROLLED KNEE LIFT Small movement only. Lift within your comfort zone. No sudden jerks. 5️⃣ IMPROVED COMFORT When your posture is upright and supported, the movement feels calmer, safer, and more controlled. Real talk UK mums 🇬🇧: We’re told “stay active” during pregnancy, but no one always explains HOW to move safely 😭 The goal is not to stop moving. The goal is to move with control, support, and confidence ✅ No wobbling. No sideways collapsing. No forcing. No fear. Just safe, supported movement for you and bump 🤰💛 💚 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 “STOP” 🛑 if you’ve ever 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 #UKMums #PregnancyTips #PregnancyWorkout
