My belly is properly out now in 7th month and har baar jhukne mein kamar pe load aata hai. Picking up things from floor feels so awkward. Koi tips on the right way to bend without hurting myself?
I'm currently trying to conceive and was reading about posture. Apparently, squatting down with a straight back is the correct way to bend to protect your spine. Is it really hard to do when the belly grows?
I totally understand how difficult even simple things like picking up keys from the floor becomes! Always bend your knees and squat down instead of bending from your waist. Take care of your precious self and go very slowly.
In my experience, keeping a sturdy stool nearby helps a lot so you don't have to bend all the way down. When you do have to bend, always sit or squat properly rather than curving your spine. It saves you from terrible backaches later.
I felt so clumsy in my second trimester trying to tie my shoes! I learned that bending directly from the waist puts a lot of pressure on the stomach and back. It is much easier to squat down keeping your back straight.
Do not bend forward from your waist, it ruins your back and is unsafe. Keep your feet wide, bend your knees, and lower your hips like a squat. If you can't reach, just ask someone else to pick it up for you!
Practically speaking, you should never bend from the waist. Always squat down by bending your knees, keeping your back straight, and use your leg strength to stand back up. It protects your lower back and avoids compressing the uterus.
