Im in my second trimester and honestly sitting cross legged on the floor feels the most comfy to me, specially while eating. But MIL keeps saying dont sit like that beta. Is it actually fine ya should i avoid it?
Yes, sitting cross-legged or Indian style is actually very good for your pelvic floor muscles. Just make sure you don't stretch too much if you feel any discomfort. Use a cushion under your hips if you need extra support.
I'm currently in my second trimester and I find sitting Indian style so much better than sitting on chairs. But do u guys get knee pain if u sit like this for long? I have to keep changing positions every 15 mins.
Sitting Indian style was very comfy during my pregnancy, but just a tip—after your delivery, especially if you have a C-section, it might take a few weeks to sit like this comfortably again. So enjoy it now while keeping a straight posture!
I totally understand why you are asking, I used to worry about every single posture and position back then! But honestly, sitting cross-legged is generally very safe. Just take it easy, don't strain yourself, and put a cushion behind your back for peace of mind.
Beta, don't worry at all, sitting on the floor in cross-legged position is actually traditional and very healthy for pregnant women. Just don't sit for too long in one go. Keep a pillow nearby for support and always stand up slowly taking support of a wall or chair.
Mere doctor ne bola tha it is completely fine to sit like this unless you have specific complications. My toddler is now running around, but back then sitting Indian style on a yoga mat was my favorite way to relax. Just don't sit on the floor for too long without getting up to stretch.
I used to sit on the floor in Sukhasana almost every day during my pregnancy. It actually helped me open up my hips, which made labor and post-delivery recovery a bit smoother. Just listen to your body and don't force it if you feel heavy.
Look, sitting Indian style is perfectly safe and actually better than slouching on a soft sofa. I did it during both my pregnancies with no issues at all. Just ensure your back is straight and you are comfortable. If there is any pinch or pain, stop immediately.
Actually, it's totally fine yaar! I sat like that throughout my pregnancy while eating lunch or just chilling. Just don't do it on a super hard floor, use a small mat or thin pillow. If your legs get numb, immediately stretch them out.
Yes absolutely! 🧘♀️ Sitting Indian style is super comfortable and actually recommended by many elders too. It helps with flexibility. Just make sure you get up slowly so you don't get dizzy! 😊
I can only share what worked for me, but sitting on the floor cross-legged was my absolute comfort zone. I felt it helped me keep my posture straight. Everyone's body is different though, so do check with your gynac if you feel any pressure.
