I'm in my early pregnancy and finding it difficult to use the western toilet sometimes. I'm wondering if it's safe to use an Indian toilet during early pregnancy? Will it put any strain or cause problems?
Honestly, squatting in an Indian toilet felt like a full gym workout with my morning sickness! It is completely safe, but if you start feeling dizzy or tired, just switch to a western one for comfort.
Yes, it is perfectly fine and actually good exercise. Just make sure the floor is dry so you don't slip, and keep a small stool nearby to support yourself if you feel tired. No need to spend money on western toilet converters.
My mother told me to avoid squatting too low, but my doctor assured me it's totally safe in early pregnancy. Unless your doctor has advised bed rest, you can use it without any worry.
I panicked so much in my first month and stopped using the Indian toilet completely. But my doctor laughed and said it's totally safe unless you have bleeding or pain. It actually helps keep your pelvic muscles strong, so don't worry!
My saas was very strict about me not squatting in the early weeks because she was worried. But when I asked my gynac, she said it's totally fine if there are no complications. Just listen to your doctor and take it easy.
