I'm used to sitting cross-legged on the floor for pooja and meals, it just feels comfortable to me. But now in my 5th month my saas keeps saying it's not good for the baby. Is this actually true ya she's just overthinking?
Sitting with folded legs is the only way I can manage to sit at 34 weeks, otherwise I look like a fallen potato! Just don't ask me to stand up from that position without help. If it feels comfortable for your bump, go ahead and sit.
Medically, there is no harm in sitting cross-legged as long as you aren't experiencing any pelvic girdle pain or SPD. Just try to shift positions every 20-30 minutes so your legs don't get numb. If you ever feel severe cramping or numbness, consult your gynac.
Haha, of course you can! Our moms and grandmoms did everything sitting on the floor, including chopping veggies and washing clothes. Just don't try any acrobatics with folded legs and you'll be totally fine.
Sitting cross-legged or in sukhasana is perfectly fine and actually recommended by experts for hip opening. Just use a soft cushion under your hips if you feel any pressure. If you get any sharp groin pain, then stop and sit normally on a chair.
I totally get why you are worried, I used to overthink every single sitting posture thinking I would squeeze the baby. Honestly, the baby is extremely well cushioned inside the fluid, so sitting folded is totally safe. Just sit however you feel most comfortable.
Yes, you absolutely can sit cross-legged, it's actually great for your pelvic floor. Just make sure you aren't sitting like that for hours because it can slow down blood circulation in your legs. Listen to your body and stretch out when you feel stiff.
