Pelvic TiltThis exercise strengthens your lower back and pelvis. It is for use
during the first 4 months of pregnancy. After this point, lying on your back is
not recommended, because it can cause blood circulation problems for you and
your fetus. - Lie on your back.
- Keep your knees relaxed.
- Tighten
your belly and buttocks muscles.
- At the same time, gently
shift your pelvis upward. This should flatten the curve in your back.
- Hold for 6 seconds and then relax.
- Gradually increase
the number of tilts you do each day, to your comfort level.
