[EXERCISE DURING PREGNANCY]

Typically exercising during pregnancy is safe (for most), although there are number of factors that need to be assessed to determine if it’s safe and what type of exercises are suitable or possibly contraindicated for that client.

The effort and pressure she is exerting is leading to the doming. There are likely a variety of other exercises that would not lead to this same effect and could be assessed by an expert first. This way alternatives that provide the same outcome but with less pressure can be found.
