Meri pregnancy ka third trimester chal raha hai aur mujhe comfortable hone mein mushkil ho rahi hai. Pregnancy mein kaise nahi baithna chahiye tak ki baby ko koi problem na ho?
In my third trimester, I felt so much pelvic pressure whenever I sat on low stools or crossed my legs. I felt a lot of relief once I started sitting on an ergonomic chair with a cushion behind my lower back.
I have a habit of sitting cross-legged on the sofa and my mom keeps scolding me for it. Is it really bad for the pelvic alignment during the late second trimester? I am trying to sit straight now but it's so hard to maintain!
Try to avoid crossing your legs or slouching forward when you sit because it can block blood circulation and strain your back. Sitting straight with your back well-supported by a cushion really helped me stay comfortable and prepared my body well for a normal delivery.
Along with managing my blood sugar, I had to ensure good circulation by not sitting with my legs crossed or dangling for hours. Sitting with cross legs can cause swelling in your feet, so try keeping your feet elevated on a small stool.
My pregnancy app had a whole section on posture, and it advised against sitting with a hunched back or without lumbar support. It recommended setting a 30-minute timer to get up and stretch, which really helped prevent lower back pain.
