Females usually tend to avoid physical activity during pregnancy. Concept of antenatal exercises and its effects on low back pain or antenatal depression is yet not common amongst pregnant females in Pakistan. Low back pain and antenatal depression are common in pregnancy. These can have an impact on both their own health and the health of their unborn child.
