I have this habbit of stretching my body as soon as I wake up. I feel fresh after that. Now I am 10 weeks pregnant, so I am not sure whether I can stretch my body or not?? Please advise. Regards Soumya.
Stretching is great for the body because it reduces muscle tension, thus making you feel more relaxed. It also helps with coordination, increased range of motion and prevention of injuries. An added bonus is that stretching allows you to focus on your body and stay in touch with how it moves and feels. That awareness will allow for an easier adjustment as your pregnancy progresses and your body changes to accommodate your new and growing belly. Hansika
same here. I do it too..but not sure how gud it is facing up..I tend to stop sleeping on sides and just lay flat on my back to stretch..Well that I'm not sure is gud..Or is it?
Sowmya, Stretch as much as you can!!! It is really important to stay active throughout your pregnancy. Not only can exercise help you cope with your body's changing center of gravity, it also can make for an easier labor and postpartum recovery.
