I do some light stretches every morning to ease my kamar pain. Im in second trimester now. Is gentle stretching okay or should i be careful about certain moves? pls share.
I am currently planning my pregnancy and was wondering the same. I do daily yoga stretches now; do I need to completely change my routine once I conceive, or can I just do modified versions?
Gentle stretching is highly recommended to relieve muscle tension, especially in the back and hips. However, pregnancy hormones make your ligaments loose, so don't overstretch. Stick to gentle prenatal movements approved by your doctor.
My toddler keeps me on my toes now, but back when I was pregnant, gentle stretching was my absolute savior for back pain. Just avoid any deep twists or lying flat on your back, and you'll be perfectly fine!
I know it feels scary to stretch or bend because you worry it might hurt the baby, I felt the exact same way. But gentle stretches are actually very good for your body. Just go slow and stop immediately if anything feels uncomfortable.
No need to join expensive gym classes for this. Simple stretches at home, like butterfly pose or gentle cat-cow, work wonders for leg cramps. Just make sure you don't overdo it or strain your belly.
Ghar pe thoda-thoda hath-pair hilana aur halki stretching karna achha hota hai. Isse sharir khulta hai aur dard kam hota hai. Bas dhyan rakhna ki pet par zor na pade.
When I stayed with my parents, my mother made sure I did very mild stretches like leg rotations and arm reaches. She said it helps in easy delivery. Just do it gently and with family around so you don't lose balance.
Actually, my doctor explained that stretching is great, but we must be careful of the hormone 'relaxin' which softens joints and makes us prone to injury. She advised avoiding lying flat on the back after 16 weeks, and strictly skipping any hard abdominal stretches.
