Relaxing the joints in the pelvis during pregnancy, particularly due to the hormone relaxin, helps to prepare the body for childbirth by allowing the pelvic bones to slightly shift and expand. This increased flexibility can make it easier for the baby to pass through the birth canal during delivery. However, it can also lead to instability and potentially increased risk of certain pelvic joint issues.
