Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate whether Pilates exercises can help manage musculoskeletal laxity in pregnant women. It will also examine the safety of Pilates exercises during pregnancy. The primary questions this trial aims to answer are:

Does Pilates exercise reduce the level of laxity in pregnant women? What physical issues do participants experience while performing Pilates exercises during pregnancy?

Participants will:

Engage in Pilates exercises tailored for pregnancy, under the supervision of trained physiotherapists, for a period of 8 weeks.

Attend monthly checkups to monitor progress and record physical health changes. The intention is to determine whether Pilates exercises are effective in improving joint stability and reducing the laxity caused by hormonal changes during pregnancy.
