Ideally, you would be diagnosed soon after delivery, however, even for mothers who discover their injury later, their condition can improve with proper guidance in exercise. Exercise during pregnancy comes with many benefits such as maintaining a healthier weight throughout pregnancy, increasing your energy levels, helping to reduce bloating and swelling (lymphatics), helping to prevent or treat gestational diabetes and many more.Breathing is a major part of both pre and post natal exercise and is a great way to prepare for delivery. It helps the pregnant mother to manage pain and to remain relaxed in stressful situations. This is good for mother and baby.For more information on what we talked about, visit mcilwaineinjurymanagement.com or visit us on instagram/facebook as mcilwaine injury management.
