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!

Thank you so much, Dr.! That makes sense and I feel more confident testing out some squats using those techniques. I really appreciate you!

@Tyler McIntyre congratulations to you guys and all the best! I wasn’t able to be as active as I was hoping for with my first pregnancy, but I think being highly active for so many years prior helped tremendously with everything. (January 5th for me)
