@dr_emb: What does the data show? ⬇️ Small trials and recent reviews suggest Pilates may: ✅ Reduce lower back and pelvic pain ✅ Strengthen the core and pelvic floor ✅ Improve posture and balance ✅ Support better sleep and lower stress ✅ Help with healthy weight gain ✅ Some studies also link it to shorter labour and fewer assisted deliveries Staying active in pregnancy (around 150 mins a week) lowers the risk of gestational diabetes and pre-eclampsia, and Pilates is a gentle, adaptable way to get there. ⚠️ After about 16 weeks, avoid long periods lying flat on your back and skip crunches. Check with your midwife or doctor first if you have any pregnancy complications. #pilates #pregnancy
