Conclusion: The lack of movement activities within the framework of sedentary lifestyle correlates with the musculoskeletal system disorders, which may influence both the adaptation mechanisms in general, and the bodys ability to adapt to the changes in pregnancy. High prevalence of the musculoskeletal system functional disorders in pregnancy may only represent a reflection of the state of female musculoskeletal system at present, and pregnancy, being the period of increased burden placed on the musculoskeletal system, only reflects its dysfunction.
