When to Stop Pilates during Pregnancy?
While pilates may benefit women during pregnancy, it is better not to overdo these exercises. Due to a lot of changes, the body has to work more when you are carrying a baby. That’s why it is better to avoid advancing or pushing the practice. Make sure to tune into the body and listen to what it is trying to signal to make proper changes. Stop doing pilates and visit a healthcare provider as soon as you experience any of the following symptoms: headache, dizziness, vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, abnormal shortness of breath, calf swelling or pain, leakage of amniotic fluids, chest pain, and frequent painful contraction.
