Third trimester and getting out of bed has become such a struggle, my kamar hurts every time i try. There must be a proper way na? Pls share how u all manage it.
Listen to me, never get up with a jerk or straight from your back. Always turn to your side, place your hands on the mattress, and slowly lift yourself up. Keep a small pillow between your knees while sleeping to make turning easier.
To avoid back strain and saving money on unnecessary physiotherapy sessions later, always turn to your side first, use your elbow for support, and then sit up. Don't put direct pressure on your abdominal muscles when getting up, it really helps in the long run.
Always roll over to your side first, then slowly push yourself up using your hands. This is the safest way for your back and belly. But if you feel any sharp sudden pain, cramps, or bleeding while getting up, please call your doctor immediately.
In my experience, I found that turning to my left side first and then slowly sitting up with hand support was the only comfortable way. I stopped getting up straight after my 4th month because it started hurting my lower back.
Oh my god, I used to be so terrified of hurting the baby if I got up the wrong way! But turning to the side and pushing up with your hands really works and keeps the belly safe. Just do it very slowly, there's no rush, take your time.
Between managing early office calls and a growing bump, getting up fast is a big no. First turn to your left side, put your legs off the bed, and use your hands to push up. It takes just 10 extra seconds but saves you from backache all day.
