Im 30 weeks and my mom says baithna in squat position helps for normal delivery. But thoda darr lagta hai ki kahin baby pe pressure na pade itna late me. Anyone did squats in third trimester, was it okay?
Squatting can be very beneficial for strengthening the pelvic floor, but because of my IVF journey, I was extremely careful. Please consult your doctor first to make sure you don't have any complications like a low-lying placenta before trying any exercises.
Exercising is good, but if you have thyroid issues or other hormonal concerns, your stamina might vary. Always mention your exercise plans during your regular doctor follow-ups so they can guide you on what is safe for your specific health condition.
I just delivered a few weeks ago, and doing squats in my third trimester definitely made my labor much easier. Just ensure you have a professional trainer or your doctor's permission first so you don't strain yourself.
Squatting is amazing for labor prep, but I only did them after my doctor explicitly allowed it during my routine checkup. If you have a green light, combine it with light walking and pelvic stretches for the best results.
I felt so proud when I started doing light squats in my second trimester because I wanted a normal delivery. I felt it really helped open up my hips, but I made sure my gynac gave me the go-ahead first. It's a wonderful feeling to prepare your body!
My mother-in-law was totally against me squatting, saying it's too much pressure, but my gynac actually encouraged it! I did mild wall squats keeping a balance, and it really helped. Just take your doctor's advice over old myths.
I am currently 20 weeks pregnant and thinking of starting mild squats to help with labor. I'm a bit anxious about whether it's completely safe. Has anyone else done squats in their second trimester without any issues?
Squatting is great, but at 34 weeks, if I go down into a squat, I might need a crane to lift me back up! Honestly, do it only if your doctor says it's fine, and make sure you hold onto a sturdy chair for support.
