Can i do embroidery during pregnancy?

Question

Im at home most of the time now and thought of doing some embroidery to pass the time, maybe make something for the baby. But sitting in one position for long, is that fine? Just dont want to strain anything.

Durga Kini · Answer

Go for it now because once the baby arrives, you won't even find time to comb your hair, let alone do embroidery!

Dipti Sanyal · Answer

I used to panic thinking even holding needles or bending slightly would affect the baby! It's completely safe, just enjoy your craft.

Hansa Sahni · Answer

It's a great stressbuster after long working hours. Set a timer for 30 minutes, do your embroidery, and then stand up to walk around.

It's a beautiful hobby dear! Just make sure your back is well supported with a cushion so you don't get tired.

Girija Tilak · Answer

Generally sitting hobbies are safe, but if you have high BP or swelling, sitting for long might not be advised. Better check with your gynac once.

Haan behan bilkul kar sakti ho. Bas seedhe baithna aur aakhon pe jor mat dalna, beech-beech me thoda aaram kar lena.

I wanted to start embroidery too but I was scared if sitting for long hurts the baby. Are others also doing sitting hobbies?

It's a great way to relax and stay creative. Just ensure your posture is correct to avoid back strain, and take frequent stretch breaks.
