  1. Yoga positions are safe during pregnancy.
  2. Care must be taken when you perform yoga positions that require balance.
  3. Stretching that accompanies yoga is safe during pregnancy.
  4. Positions lying on the back must be avoided, but other positions are safe.

Question 2

  1. It is effective, continuous contraception.
  2. It is relatively inexpensive over time.
  3. It does not need to be inserted immediately prior to coitus.
  4. Small amounts of estrogen are released daily.

Answer to Question 1

Rationale 2: As the center of balance shifts with the advancing size of the uterus, care must be taken when assuming poses that require balance.
Rationale 3: Stretching should be done with caution because of relaxed ligaments in the pelvis.
Rationale 4: Some yoga positions such as lying on the abdomen are not recommended in the second or third trimester.
