Is ‘mum bum’ normal?
Yes, it’s completely normal! Learn why it happens and how to strengthen your glutes.
Why it happens...
As pregnancy progresses, your core and pelvic floor muscles weaken, causing the lower glutes to take over and act as a stabilizer. This extra strain leads to muscle atrophy, so the upper glutes start to compensate. The result you see is a heart-shaped ‘mum bum’.
