We have indian toilet at home and i squat daily, now im second trimester and saas is telling me dont do it. Thoda confused honestly. Is squatting actually harmful or its fine?
I used to do deep squats daily in my third trimester and it really helped me during my delivery. Now my little one is running around and I look back and feel so glad I kept myself active. Just do it gently and stop immediately if you feel tired.
Squatting is amazing for normal delivery preparation! 🏋️♀️ But only do it if your doctor has given you a green light and you have no complications. Just make sure to hold a sturdy chair or wall for balance so you don't slip!
Actually, squatting can be very good for your pelvic muscles, but make sure to consult your doctor before doing it. Since I had thyroid issues, I was always extra careful and got regular follow-ups to make sure my physical activity levels were safe for the pregnancy.
Squatting actually helps open up the pelvis and strengthens the legs for labor. However, please avoid it if you have placenta previa, low-lying placenta, or any bleeding issues. Always confirm with your gynac at your next visit if your body is ready for squats.
I am in my 28th week now and actually wanted to start squats too, but my MIL is very scared I will hurt the baby. Do you guys think doing normal household sweeping/mopping while squatting is safe, or should I stick to simple prenatal squats under a trainer?
