It is absolutely possible to exercise up to the date you will give birth – just listen to your body and if you feel up to it, roll out your mat and do this Pilates routine designed for the third trimester by qualified Pilates instructor Sarah Vrancken.

The question we get asked regularly is if doing Pilates during pregnancy helps with the actual birth. The Pilates breathing, the increased body awareness and the strength you have gained are all positive attributes that you can take with you into the delivery room. And although there is no set path as every birth is different, having a strong and mobile body will always be a good thing. From having taught many pregnant and post-natal women, we can for sure tell you that exercising during pregnancy helps you to recover more quickly after birth, so it’s well worth the effort.
