I'm a religious person and I want to offer special prayers for my baby and my pregnancy journey. Are there any specific prayers or rituals one can follow during pregnancy? I want to seek blessings.
Arey beta, bhagwan toh dil me hote hain, bilkul pareshan mat ho. Agar dadi-nani bolein zameen pe baithne ko toh mat sunna, aaram se kursi pe baith ke pooja karo. Bas mann me achhe vichaar rakho aur khush raho.
You should definitely check with your gynac if you are allowed to sit on the floor or bend down for prayers. Sometimes in high-risk pregnancies, doctors advise complete bed rest or avoiding any pressure on the abdomen. Better to be cautious and pray sitting on a bed or chair.
After my C-section, my doctor told me not to sit on the floor or bend at all. Even during my pregnancy, I used to sit comfortably on a chair to do my prayers. Please don't strain your body or back, God understands your physical condition.
I find that sitting straight on a yoga mat with some pillows for back support works best for my morning prayers. But only do this if your doctor has allowed you to sit on the floor. If you feel any strain or tightness, immediately switch to a comfortable chair.
Honestly, by my 8th month, bending down to pray felt like trying to fold an overstuffed suitcase! 😂 I literally sat on a plastic chair with my legs spread out like a boss. Just close your eyes, talk to God like a friend, and ignore anyone who tells you there's a 'perfect' posture!
Look, don't overcomplicate things. Sitting cross-legged on the floor for long hours can affect your blood circulation, especially in the third trimester. Sit on a sofa or chair, read your holy books comfortably, and keep a pillow behind your back.
I am currently 6 months pregnant and I also feel a lot of back pain when standing during long prayers. Does anyone else feel like sitting on a stool instead? How do you ladies manage physical postures during daily prayers?
