Squats during pregnancy?
I was wondering about your take on this. I’m currently in early 1st trimester with my second. When I was pregnant with my first, I had one doctor tell me to avoid squats and opt for lunges instead, reasoning that squatting can put too much pressure on the pelvic floor. While I’d much rather be safe than sorry and happy to stick to lunges, I’ve seen some people on IG (not doctors) claim that squats can help strengthen and lengthen the pelvic floor? Just curious about this. (I still practice deep squat stretching, just avoiding the squat in repetition).
Thank you!
