Im in my 5th month and ghar pe i still need to pick things up, do small chores. Everyone keeps telling me dont bend dont bend. Is bending actually risky now or am i being told too much?
I'm currently in my 5th month too, and I find squatting down much easier than bending directly. Actually, does anyone else feel slightly dizzy when they stand up after bending down? I should probably ask my doctor about this in my next visit.
Bending is generally safe in the 5th month, but make sure you don't do it suddenly. After my C-section, I realized how much we take core strength for granted, so protect your back and belly now by bending your knees first.
Yes you can, just don't do it right after eating if you have acidity or nausea, as it can trigger vomiting. Try to squat down using your leg support. Take it very slow, your body is doing a lot of work already!
I am also in my 5th month now and I get so anxious every time I have to pick something up from the floor! My gynac said it is fine but to squat down instead of bending straight from the waist. Do you guys also feel a slight pull in the tummy when you bend?
After my long IVF journey, I was terrified of even looking down, let alone bending! But my doctor reassured me that the baby is very well protected inside the amniotic sac. Just avoid any sudden jerky movements and squat down comfortably instead of bending forward.
I am not pregnant yet, but my sister who recently had a baby told me that bending is fine in the second trimester as long as you do it slowly. Just be very gentle with your body and don't lift anything heavy.
