Pregnancy often comes with physical discomfort, but by tuning into your body, you can discover ways to alleviate some of that discomfort. Pay attention to how your body feels in different positions—whether you’re sitting, standing, or lying down. Small adjustments, like using a pillow for support or changing your position, can make a big difference.

For example, if you find that your lower back is sore after sitting for a while, try placing a cushion behind your back or taking breaks every 30 minutes to stretch. If lying on your back feels uncomfortable as your pregnancy progresses, experiment with side-lying positions and use pillows to support your belly, arms and legs. Listening to your body’s signals and responding with care can help you navigate the physical changes of pregnancy with greater ease.
