In summers our bed feels too hot so i like lying on the cool floor with a thin mat. Im 6 months now. Is this fine or does it put pressure somewhere? Pls share.
Hey, it is totally fine to lie on the floor if you feel comfortable! Just use a nice thick yoga mat or gadda so it's not too hard or cold. Don't stress too much, just make sure to roll over to your side when getting up.
Haha, I actually do this after having a heavy meal when my couch feels too soft! Lying down on a clean mat on the floor feels so grounding. Just keep a small snack or juice nearby so you don't get dizzy when you get up.
It is actually great for stretching your back, but only if your gynac has allowed light yoga. I used to do my prenatal stretches on the floor with a proper mat. Just avoid lying flat on your back for too long in the third trimester.
Yes, it is safe, my pregnancy tracker app also said lying flat is fine but side sleeping is recommended in later months. Just make sure the surface is clean and you don't get a backache. Use some pillows under your knees for extra support!
I remember doing this during my hot summer months because the cool floor felt so amazing! Just be very careful when you try to stand up, as your center of gravity changes. Enjoy these little comfort moments, pregnancy can be so tiring.
