Just found out im pregnant, around 6 weeks. The thing is i drop stuff all day and have to bend to pick it up, plus jhadu pocha at ghar. Thoda scared if bending again and again is harmful so early. Is it fine?
Haan na, elders in the family panic if we bend even a little bit! But light bending is totally fine, ho na, just don't lift anything heavy and bend from your knees instead of the waist.
You don't need to completely stop bending for daily household chores. Just squat down slowly using your leg support instead of directly bending your back. It's much safer and doesn't strain your tummy.
Because of my PCOS history, I was extra careful in the first trimester and avoided any strenuous bending or heavy chores. Light, slow movements are fine but listen to your body and rest if u feel any strain.
Elders act like the baby will roll out if u bend! Don't worry, your baby is tucked safely inside. Just don't use it as an excuse to lift heavy buckets or do crazy acrobatics.
