I have a long bus journey coming up and im only 7 weeks. Sitting continuously for 3 hrs ho jayega kya, ya it can harm the baby? Mind me thoda tension hai, anyone travelled this early?
Haan, physical job rules allow sitting, but 3 hours straight is not good for your lower back anyway. Stand up, go get water, or just do a quick stretch every hour. Your body is changing, so don't make it stiff by sitting like a statue.
Hey, don't stress too much about this, sitting for a few hours is totally fine. Just take a small walk every 45 mins to stretch your legs. Keep a cushion behind your back for support and you are good to go!
As long as you aren't feeling any discomfort or cramping, a 3-hour sitting stretch is generally safe. However, every pregnancy is unique, so it is always best to double-check with your gynac if you have any history of spots or pain.
When I had to travel for office in my first trimester, I immediately called my hospital coordinator. My doctor advised me to avoid continuous sitting and suggested ankle rotations. Definitely run this by your doctor's team once to be absolutely safe.
Yes, sitting is completely fine but do not sit in the same position for too long. Try to stand up and stretch a bit every hour to keep blood circulation good.
