Ok ladies, I am almost 6 weeks, and I have these huge urges to stretch especially at night when I`m laying in bed. I have heard that stretching is bad for you while pregnant. Is this true? & why?

It's a myth about how that's what causes an umbilical cord to wrap around a baby's neck. But not at all factual. Congratulations on your pregnancy. I hope you're feeling fine!

JacquelineTurner - 1170 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) stretching is good for ya!! i was quite small when i had my first daughter and i had strong urges to stretch early on ... now i'm preggo again and i'm a bit larger this time and i have stretching urges but the only started in the 4th month of pregnancy and on both pregnancies i do pilates and yoga and my dr encourages it... either way tho its your body expanding for that baby!!! and i never heard that it was bad but when you get to the end of trimester two you can stretch yourself right into a charlie horse if you're not careful and if you do yoga or pilates and push yourself too far you can pull something easier than when you're not preggo .. so just be mindful... good luck :)
