Answer Dear Danielle, Thanks for your question. Equipment Pilates is completely safe during pregnancy, provided that you work with a teacher who knows how to modify exercises for the varying stages of pregnancy. The equipment allows you to do more exercises sitting, standing, and side-lying; especially the reformer and chair. there are also several good pregnancy Pilates DVDs on the market for home mat-based exercise (again more standing, sitting, side-lying) Lindsay Brin’s Custom Pregnancy Series (2006) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000EWWVYM?ie=UTF8&tag=lyspire-20&linkCode=as2&… Prenatal Pilates http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00009Y3SX?ie=UTF8&tag=lyspire-20&linkCode=as2&… Pilates During Pregnancy http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000AXW0WS?ie=UTF8&tag=lyspire-20&linkCode=as2&… Good luck and feel free to ask more questions.
