Human Growth and Development / Unit 13 HGD 1814 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Pregnancy's Lasting Changes
Captions available
The idea
Pregnancy can leave lasting changes: hormones loosen ligaments, leaving flatter, longer feet, wider hips and a lower pelvic floor.
In practice
A mother needing larger shoes after pregnancy, as her feet grew flatter and longer.
Where people slip
A lower pelvic floor sometimes brings incontinence, which pelvic floor exercise can improve; the course describes, not advises.
