We have a recliner chair at home, and I find it quite comfortable. Is it safe to use a recliner chair during pregnancy, especially as the belly grows bigger? Any issues with sitting in it?
My doctor actually recommended using a recliner because keeping the legs elevated helps reduce ankle swelling. She advised not to sit in one position for more than an hour, though. It's perfectly safe as long as you take short walking breaks.
I didn't have a recliner, so I just used lots of pillows on our normal sofa to make a temporary one. It worked great and saved us money! If you have one, definitely use it to rest your tired feet.
Beta, sitting comfortably is very important during these delicate days. A recliner is fine, but don't stay in it all day. Drink a warm glass of milk and keep your posture straight so the baby stays comfortable too.
Yes, a recliner can be absolute heaven for your back, especially in the later months. Just make sure you don't lie completely flat on your back for too long. Use a small cushion for lower back support if needed.
Of course you can use it, dear, it is actually great for relieving pelvic pressure. Just be careful when getting up so you don't strain your stomach muscles. Take your time and keep yourself comfortable.
