Why this one
Halfway through, we rest. Lying on your side — the safest, most comfortable position in pregnancy — lets everything settle before you carry on.
How to do it
Roll onto your side (the left is lovely if it’s comfortable), a pillow under your head and knees softly bent. Rest a hand on your belly, close your eyes, and take a few slow, easy breaths.
Keep in mind
Nothing to do here — just rest and breathe. Stay as long as you like.
Every move: lightly lift your pelvic floor — a gentle lift, never a clench — and breathe slow and full (hold the stretches for about 5 easy breaths, at least 30 seconds). New to the lift? →
