Pilates exercise can help women cope with these changes, possibly avoid problems both during and post-natal and assist with the actual birth.Many women who have remained consistent with their Pilates programs over their pregnancy report the benefits of conscious abdominal assistance, greater breathing capacity, leg strength and overall endurance during labour, and less post natal physical and postural concerns to name just a few.
