After dinner I feel so heavy and bloated and a small walk usually helps me. But MIL says rest karo after eating in pregnancy. Im in 2nd trimester, is a light walk after khana okay?
My hospital physiotherapist specifically advised a light stroll post-meals to avoid gestational diabetes. However, if you have any complications, please double-check with your gynac's team. They can guide you based on your health reports.
I was always so scared that walking after eating might cause cramps or harm the baby! But a very slow, short stroll is actually safe and good for digestion. Just don't walk fast and stop immediately if you feel tired.
My mother always made me do a gentle 'shatpavali' (100 steps walk) inside the house after dinner. It really helped keep my digestion active. Just make sure the floor is dry and you are comfortable.
A very gentle walk after meals can be helpful for digestion, but please keep it extremely light. In IVF journeys, we are often extra careful, so do what makes your body feel safe. Always consult your doctor if you feel any pressure or fatigue.
I actually do a slow walk in my living room for 10 minutes after dinner every night. It really helps with my bloating and gas. Is anyone else also doing this or do you prefer resting?
Yes, a slow 10-15 minute walk inside the house is a great way to prevent acidity. Don't do brisk walking or push yourself too much. Just a gentle stroll is a simple solution for digestion.
When I had gestational diabetes, walking for 15 minutes after every major meal was compulsory to control my sugar spikes. It worked wonders for my blood glucose levels. Just keep the pace very slow and comfortable.
My pregnancy app always recommended a 10-minute slow walk after dinner to help lower blood sugar levels. It also helps prevent that heavy, bloated feeling. Just track your comfort levels and don't overdo it.
It is a wonderful natural remedy for acidity and gas after meals. Just ensure you walk very slowly and don't strain yourself. If you feel any uterine cramps or discomfort while walking, sit down immediately and call your doctor.
I am planning my pregnancy and trying to build active habits now. A light walk after meals sounds like a great way to stay active. Did you all start this from the first trimester itself?
Beta, walking slowly after meals is very good for digestion and prevents wind. But don't do any fast walking or heavy movement. If you feel any heaviness, just take rest and consult your doctor.
Actually u can absolutely walk, but keep it a very gentle stroll, not a workout. It helps with digestion and keeps GD risk down. Just listen to your body and force mat karna if you get tired.
