Posture is affected in pregnancy and after your little bundle of joy arrives. Nobody teaches you how to properly lift this beautiful human life or stand with proper posture. Not to mention all of the gear that goes along with having a baby.

Correcting Mom Posture

Mom Posture needs to be fixed in order to avoid sway back, a pelvis that thrusts forward and to avoid pain in the hip, knees, back and everywhere else. In this video it’s myself, Post Natal Fitness Expert Trina Medves and Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist Silvana Yee correcting posture on a Mom of two carrying her very heavy toddler. Here is the proper way to stand with your baby, little one and toddler.

Common Mistakes

Carrying your child on one side of the body “the hip carry”
Leaning to one side
Pushing your pelvis forward
Tucking your butt aka “butt tucker”
Poor posture causes back pain
Rounding the shoulders
Sway back posture

Corrections

Distribute the weight evenly in the front of the body
Pull the shoulders back and down
Lift tall through the chest
Proper posture feels very awkward at first
Booty is always the last thing in the door
Focus on proper breathing through your diaphragm
Think of a straight line from the crown of your head to your tailbone
Tuck the chin slightly and avoid pushing the chin forward
Tilt the pelvis back
Ribcage should align with the hip bones / pelvis
