Which mat work item is included in the sixth month pregnancy program?

• A. Standing Arm Lifts
• B. All Fours Breathing
• C. All Fours Abs
• D. Side Lying Pinwheel

Answer: (C)

In late-pregnancy mat work, the priority is safe core engagement without compressing the abdomen or compromising circulation. All Fours Abs fits this need because it keeps you in a quadruped position, avoiding both on-the-back and on-the-stomach positions. This stance allows you to connect with the deep abdominal muscles (the transverse abdominis) and coordinate with the pelvic floor through controlled breathing, while keeping the spine and pelvis stable. It provides effective abdominal work without placing pressure on the back or uterus, and it can be adjusted for comfort with padding or tempo. This is why it’s included for the sixth-month program, offering safe, targeted core activation in a position suitable for that stage of pregnancy.
