5Inactivity
During pregnancy, you may become less physically active. You would even have to sit more often during the third trimester and postpartum. This extended period of inactivity may lead to weakened glutes and tighter hip flexors. When the glutes are not properly activated, it subsequently affects other muscles. As a result, pregnant women may experience muscle loss and weakness over time, which can be a possible cause of a mom butt after pregnancy. Although this is typically unavoidable, you should still be aware of it to take proper measures and reduce the effects. [5]
