I used to do squats before pregnancy and want to continue light workout. Im in my 2nd trimester. Is squatting safe na or should I avoid it completely now?
Don't just start doing squats blindly by watching some YouTube videos. First ask your doctor if your pregnancy is normal and if you are allowed to exercise. If they say yes, do it with proper support or wall contact.
I am actually planning for a baby soon and was wondering the same thing! I read somewhere that squats help in opening up the pelvis. But is it safe to start doing them if you haven't done them before?
Squats are great, but I only continued my prenatal yoga and squats after my doctor explicitly allowed it in my second trimester. If you have any complications like a low placenta, it can be risky. Always get clearance from your doctor first!
Keep a positive mind and do whatever makes your body feel comfortable and healthy. If your doctor allows it, gentle squats are wonderful for the body. Just take care, don't strain yourself, and keep praying for a smooth journey.
Honestly, squats are the only way I burn off all the extra calorie cravings I have daily! But joking apart, I only do them holding onto a sturdy chair, and my gynac gave me strict instructions not to push myself too hard.
In our family, elders always say doing mild squatting exercises like 'pocha lagana' helps in normal delivery. However, I preferred checking with my doctor first, and she advised me to only do it under supervision. It's best to follow your doctor's word.
Haan, pregnancy mein squats karna toh accha mana jata hai normal delivery ke liye. Lekin bina doctor ki permission ke mat karna, aur thoda support leke hi karna na.
When I was staying at my mom's place, my mother and dadi used to make me do light household chores while sitting down, which is like natural squatting. They said it helps a lot, but they always told me to stop if I felt tired or heavy. Do check with your doctor too.
Squats are good for pelvic strength, but please don't overdo it. I had an emergency C-section and let me tell you, gentle movement during pregnancy helps recovery, but forcing your body is not good. Always listen to your body first.
Squatting is excellent for strengthening your pelvic floor, but it really depends on which trimester you are in and your individual health. Please consult your obstetrician before starting any such physical routine to ensure it's safe for you.
