Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During pregnancy, especially in the later stages, it's common for women to experience changes in their posture and gait due to the growing uterus and changes in the center of gravity. Lordosis (an inward curvature of the spine) and a waddling gait are normal adaptations to accommodate the growing fetus. These findings do not typically require intervention unless they are causing significant discomfort or are associated with other concerning symptoms.
