I used to do surya namaskar daily before and now im 9 weeks. Missing my routine a lot yaar but not sure if its safe now with all the bending. Did anyone continue it in pregnancy?
Avoid doing it because any wrong posture can cause complications, and emergency hospital visits or scans are extremely expensive. Practical planning means keeping things safe and simple with light walks. Always get your doctor's approval before starting any exercise routine.
True, normal Surya Namaskar is not recommended during pregnancy due to the pressure on the abdomen. Better to ask your doctor for modified prenatal yoga poses that are safe.
I completely understand wanting to stay active to cope with all the pregnancy anxiety. But doing intense steps like Surya Namaskar made me so worried about the baby. Stick to gentle breathing exercises and slow walks, it really helps calm the mind safely.
Beta, deep bending and lying on the stomach is not safe during this time. Instead of heavy yoga, just do light walking in the park and drink warm milk at night. Take care of yourself and don't exert your body too much.
Standard Surya Namaskar is a big no-no because it involves lying on your belly and heavy extensions. Look for certified prenatal yoga classes where they teach modified versions specifically for pregnant women. And of course, get your gynac's clearance first.
Honestly, in my 3rd trimester, just getting up from the bed feels like a full Surya Namaskar! Jokes aside, please don't do regular Surya Namaskar because of all the deep bending. Unless you want to roll around like a potato like me, stick to very basic stretching!
Oh god, I can't even bend down to pick up my fallen snacks, let alone do a Surya Namaskar! Better to avoid those heavy stretches and just enjoy some light walking followed by your favorite food cravings. Keep it easy on your body!
