I love to stitch and tailor, but now that I'm pregnant, I'm not sure if it's safe to continue. Can we do tailoring, especially sitting for long hours, during pregnancy? Is it okay for the baby?
Yes, but honestly, in this 3rd trimester my belly is so big that I can barely reach the sewing machine! 😂 If you can manage to sit comfortably without your back aching, go for it, but don't overdo it.
Of course you can, sweetie! Just don't stress too much or sit in one position for hours. Keep taking small breaks, stretch your legs, and enjoy making cute things for your upcoming little one!
Tailoring is safe, but sitting continuously can restrict blood circulation in your legs. My doctor advised me to stand up and walk around every 30 minutes. Also, avoid using heavy paddle machines if it strains your lower abdomen.
Go ahead and do it now because once the baby arrives, you won't even have time to comb your hair, let alone sew! Just don't bend too much and keep a cushion behind your back.
Yes, it is fine as a hobby to keep your mind busy and happy. Just be mindful of your posture and don't press any heavy foot pedals if it feels uncomfortable. Always listen to your body and rest when needed.
I panicked when my grandmother told me sewing is bad for the baby, but my gynac laughed and said it's totally safe. Just make sure your chair has good back support and you aren't straining your eyes or back.
