🤰 3 things no one really warns you about in pregnancy…
Your body goes through huge changes to grow your baby and sometimes the aches, tension, or “random pains” actually make a lot more sense once you know why 👇🏽
1️⃣ Ligaments loosen
Pregnancy hormones like relaxin help prepare the body for birth, but they also make joints feel less stable. This can show up as pelvic pain, back pain, or feeling “wobbly.”
2️⃣ Your centre of gravity shifts
As bump grows, posture changes and glutes often stop working as well as they should. This can lead to lower back tension, hip discomfort, or feeling pressure through the pelvis.
3️⃣ Breathing changes
Your diaphragm has less room to move, so breathing can become more upper chest dominant. This may contribute to neck tightness, shoulder tension, and feeling more breathless.
💛 The good news?
These changes are common and there’s a lot you can do to support your body through them.
