Transitions between standing and lying in pregnancy

http://www.petrayoga.co.uk
This clip shows how a pregnant woman should go from standing into a lying position and back to standing without straining the back. Since the abdominal muscles are not active in pregnancy and there is a lot of weight in the front of the body, changing positions can put a lot of strain on the lower back. That is why one should always use the hands as a weight support when doing this particular transition.
