We only have an indian toilet at home and as my belly is growing its getting hard to sit. Im in 6th month. Bit scared about balance and putting pressure. How do u all manage this?
Oh, this is such a common struggle, trust me! I remember those days when it felt like an Olympic sport just to go to the washroom. It's totally okay to feel awkward or find it hard, your body is changing so much. Just be super careful, hold onto something if you can, and take your time. You're doing great, mama!
Try to keep your back as straight as possible to avoid strain on your abdomen and lower back. Squatting low is fine, but do it slowly and use your arm strength to support yourself on a nearby wall if you can. Also, ensure the floor isn't wet to prevent any slips.
Haha, mere saath bhi same problem thi, and with twins, the bump was HUGE! I actually started using a small stool to lean on sometimes, ya fir main apne husband ko 'spotter' banati thi. Just take it slow and be very careful with your balance.
Oh god, that's tough! Especially when you've just eaten something delicious and then suddenly need to rush to the washroom. Try to go slowly and make sure you have something sturdy to hold onto. Sometimes I wished I just had a western toilet everywhere, lol!
Honestly, the safest thing to do is ask your gynac during your next visit. They might have specific advice based on your stage of pregnancy or if you have any back issues. Better to be safe than sorry, na?
