Im in my 2nd tri and bending to pick up things is becoming tough, plus thoda scared i might hurt the baby. Ghar ke kaam mein bend karna padta hai constantly. Whats the safe way you all do it?
After my long IVF journey, I was terrified of doing anything wrong, including bending down. Please don't worry, just squat down gently keeping your feet wide apart, and always hold onto a sturdy chair or wall for support.
When I was pregnant, I learned that squatting down with a wide stance is the best way to pick things up. Now while breastfeeding my baby, I still use that same knee-bending habit because it protects your lower back so well.
Beta, during pregnancy, never bend straight down from your waist as it puts pressure on your womb. Always squat down slowly by bending your knees and keep your back straight, and if your legs ache, gently massage them with warm sesame oil before bed.
Oh, I completely feel you, even dropping a pen on the floor used to make me cry because bending down felt like a mountain to climb. Just take it slow, bend at your knees while keeping a support, and remember you're doing great, mama!
