Im in second trimester and we still use Indian toilet at home, so squatting happens daily. Just wondering if its okay to keep doing or i should be careful now. How was it for u?
Yes squatting is fine for most normal pregnancies and even helps later. Just don't overdo it and hold something for balance. If you feel any pain, stop and ask your doctor.
My MIL actually says ghar pe squatting while doing small chores kept her active in her pregnancies. But I still confirmed with my gynac first. Old wisdom and doctor advice together worked for me.
I do gentle squats but only after my doctor cleared me, and with support of a chair. They are actually good for the pelvis if done right. Please check with your gynac before starting na, every body is different.
In our family squatting was always seen as good prep for delivery. I did it slowly and carefully. But yes, your doctor knows your body best, so do ask once.
I get scared to squat thinking something will go wrong. Did anyone else feel nervous about this in early months? I think I will just ask my doctor to be safe.
