A member asked:

Im 21 weeks pregnant and want to do squats like i did before my pregnancy to keep my butt ....lol what careful procedures should i take for exercises?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Squating is ok but: Squating is not only ok but it is considered safe for women at any stage of pregnancy but as you may know every pregnancy carries certain risks, so check with your obstetrician before doing these exercises if these are right for you.
