I sit cross legged on the floor most of the time, its just my habit while eating and working. Now in my 6th month im wondering if i should stop. Does it affect the baby in any way?
We sit cross legged on the floor a lot in our home and it was fine for me. My amma said it even helps for delivery. Just change position if you feel numbness, and use support to get up gently.
Yes you can, its actually good for opening the hips, just dont stay in one position too long. Get up and move every now and then so legs dont go numb. I sat cross legged plenty in both pregnancies.
My prenatal yoga teacher said cross legged sitting is great for hip flexibility, with my doctor's okay. Just dont lock yourself in it for an hour. Shift, stretch, and stand up slowly.
