Your spine naturally has curves even before pregnancy. The spine consist of 4 specific curves: Cervical curve, Thoracic curve, Lumbar curve, and Pelvic Curve Curves in the spine provide support for the weight in the human body, and also make it easy to balance this weight. The spine also help balance your head and give structure support to your ribs. It may seem like you notice the curves more since you have "extra baggage" that may put pressure on spine.
