 Ok, so maybe not 300 times a day without building up to it, or you might be really sore during labor. But throughout your day whenever you bend down to pick something up, just hang out there in a deep squat for a minute or two. Incorporate it in your day. Squatting 10 times a day for 2 minutes each time is a great goal. It stretches the perineum, strengthens the pelvic floor muscles, and strengthens the gluteal muscles, the ones you need to help you push out the baby.

 Pregnancy can have positive affects on women for years afterwards. The miraculous phenomenon that this picture depicts is called "fetomaternal microchimerism."
Here's how it works, from From: "Astounding: Your Baby Can Heal You!" "The main study that supports this claim was done using mice.2 In the study, the researchers took female mice that had never mated before and mated them with male mice that had been genetically engineered to make a green, fluorescing protein in their cells. As a result, half of the offspring produced by this mating process also had the ability to make that protein. Since the females did not have that ability, any cells in the mother that produced the green, fluorescing protein must have come from the fetus developing inside her. |
