Many pregnant women are told to turn to one side before getting up from bed—but do you know why?
As pregnancy progresses, especially in the 7th and 8th months, your growing uterus changes how your muscles and back handle movement. Rolling to your side and using your arms to support yourself can reduce muscle strain, cramps, and unnecessary back pain.
A small change in how you get up can make a big difference in your comfort during pregnancy.
