Grab some dumbbells and give your back a workout. (Not that carrying around 20—OK, 40—extra pounds won't do the trick!)
You
Comfy clothing
Sneakers
Dumbbells: 5-8 lbs weights
1 Keep your chest up, shoulders back, and knees slightly bent.
2 Raise dumbbells up the sides to shoulder level.
3 Pause.

4 Lower.

5 Do 2-3 sets of 15 repetitions, resting for 30-45 seconds between sets.

Don't shrug your shoulders. To add variety, rotate hands so that thumbs face the ceiling. Chat with other expectant parents on our pregnancy boards.
