[quote=Anonymous]When you're pregnant, hormones make all of the connective tissue in your body relax some. It doesn't all go back to the way it was (this is why your feet often permanently go up a size after pregnancy). This has also happened to the connective tissue around your spine, and that's why it's become so easy to crack, apparently from the angle at which you exert your abdominal muscles to "suck in your stomach." Strengthening all of the muscles in your core--abdominal, back, pelvic floor and diaphragm--will probably reduce or eliminate this. [/quote]
