During pregnancy, the center of gravity shifts forward due to the growing uterus, which can cause increased lordosis (an inward curve) of the lumbar spine in order to maintain balance. Abdominal muscle tone may decrease as the abdominal muscles stretch to accommodate the growing uterus. Pelvic joints may become more mobile due to the hormone relaxin, which helps to prepare the body for childbirth.
