Im in my first trimester and everyone at ghar pe is telling me dont bend, dont pick anything. But sometimes I forget and bend to pick stuff. is it actually risky this early? anyone else got this advice?
I completely get why you are scared to bend, I used to freeze even if I dropped a spoon in my first trimester! Honestly, gentle bending is perfectly fine, but if it makes you anxious, try to squat down slowly using support instead. Take it easy on yourself.
When I was staying at my parents' place, my mom always told me to bend from the knees rather than the waist to avoid putting pressure on the tummy. It's totally fine to do light bending, but just take it easy and don't do any heavy lifting, beta.
Light bending is generally safe in early pregnancy, but always listen to your body and don't push yourself. Along with regular follow-ups for things like thyroid, I always made sure to ask my doctor about physical activities during my monthly visits.
Yes, you can bend, your baby is well protected deep inside. Just make sure you bend by squatting down with your knees instead of bending directly from your back. And strictly avoid lifting heavy weights, that's it.
I am planning my pregnancy now and I keep wondering about this too! It is so good to know that light bending is fine, but I guess we should definitely avoid carrying anything heavy. How do you guys manage household chores in the early weeks?
