Sit tall on a chair, legs out. Loop a resistance band around your feet, hold both ends. Pull the band toward your low ribs, squeezing the shoulder blades. 10-12 reps × 2 sets. Counters the forward-rounded posture of late pregnancy and strengthens the upper back that holds you upright when the bump is heavy.
