Are Inner Thigh Exercises Safe During Pregnancy?
Moderate exercise during pregnancy holds a number of benefits for pregnant women, such as alleviating back pain, boosting energy levels and keeping pregnancy weight gain in check. Exercising too hard during pregnancy, however, can potentially harm you or your unborn baby. In women prone to lower back, pelvic or leg pain, working the inner thighs during pregnancy might exacerbate sciatica or contribute to symphysis pubic dysfunction — pregnancy conditions that can potentially affect your mobility and comfort. Always consult with you primary care provider before doing any type of exercise during pregnancy.
