Pregnancy Pilates: When Stretching for a Pickle Is Considered a Workout
Ah, the third trimester—the home stretch or, let's be real, the 'how-do-i-do-anything-comfortably' stretch. This is the time when simple movements can feel like competing in the Preg Olympics. But fear not, we're here to help you harness your Herculean strength without turning grocery trips into mini-marathons.
Remember: If tying your shoes feels like a triathlon, you're not alone.

Until next time, you marvelously magnificent mom-to-be, keep empowering yourself one stretch, squat, and giggle at a time. Oh, and remind socks they won’t win the war of retrieval!
