The good condition of the muscles throughout the body is very important during pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period. Strong muscles will facilitate not only the process of childbirth, but also the entire period of pregnancy. A well-inflated abs will not allow the stomach to sag and significantly reduce the load on the spine.
Strong muscles are the key to easy labor
Childbirth requires maximum stress from the female body. But at the time of childbirth, a powerful release of hormones occurs, which gives the body additional strength.
During pregnancy, the center of gravity changes, and the muscles of the back and legs are under tremendous stress. Therefore, it will not hurt the body at all if all muscles are in good shape. To do this, the body must be prepared in advance both for pregnancy and for the birth itself.
There are special sports for pregnant women. For example, Pilates, aqua aerobics, or yoga for pregnant women. They are safe and designed to make childbirth easier. Also, expectant mothers can practice swimming and walking. But before choosing a sport, you should consult a doctor.
Yoga is suitable for those expectant mothers who like to meditate and relax. This sport helps to develop flexibility and endurance. Pilates helps to strengthen the muscles in the legs and abdomen. Water aerobics helps not to gain extra pounds, eliminate swelling of the legs, therefore, reduce the load on the entire body and facilitate the work of all internal organs.
Pumped up abs and childbirth
During contractions, smooth muscles are involved, which the woman is unable to control. In attempts, the muscles begin to work, which obeys the consciousness of the woman. The muscles of the anterior abdominal wall are also connected. Strong abs will help a lot at this point.
The musculature of the abdominal wall works as an auxiliary motor, and later becomes the main generic expulsion force. The abdominals work together with the muscles of the uterus to help it.
In women who give birth for the first time, the abdominal muscles are closely adjacent to each other and they have better abs, even without special training, than in women who give birth again.
The abdominal muscles play a decisive role in the last stages of labor. As the baby's head approaches the exit of the pelvis, only the strength of the abdominal press will gradually help overcome this last obstacle.
The stronger the abdominal muscles, the easier the entire pregnancy will pass, since the load on the body will be evenly distributed. And the birth itself will go faster, because the muscles will help the baby to be born. A strong and pumped-up abs will help you get your body back in shape much faster after childbirth, get rid of a sagging abdomen.
During pregnancy, it is strictly forbidden to purposefully pump the press. This should have been done before pregnancy.
