Fig. 2 Pelvic segment sagittal plane postural alignment in sitting as pregnancy progressed for maternal subjects (session 1–4) and postpartum (session 5) for (A) subjects who showed a consistent decrease in anterior tilt and (B) subjects who showed no consistent pattern. Negative values indicate a posterior sagittal plane orientation of the segment.

Fig. 3 Sagittal plane postural alignment in quiet standing for the maternal group (mean ± 2 SEM) at sessions 1 to 4 and postpartum (session 5) and the control group (mean ± 2 SEM) for (A) the pelvic segment and (B) the thoracolumbar spine. Negative values indicate spine extension and posterior sagittal plane orientation of the segment.
