We do a lot of things sitting on the floor at home and now with my growing belly its becoming so hard to get up. Im 25 weeks. Whats the safe way to do it without straining, pls share how u manage.
Roll onto your side first, then push up with your hands to sitting, then slowly to your feet. Don't jerk up using your tummy muscles. This saved my back both times.
By third trimester getting off the floor is basically a full workout, lol. I just grab the nearest sofa or my husband and heave up slowly. No shame in asking for a hand.
My prenatal yoga teacher taught me to go through all fours first, then come up. Never twist suddenly. Of course do whatever your doctor has cleared for you.
