I keep bending to pick up things at home and my saas keeps telling me na karo. Im in second trimester. Is it actually harmful for baccha or just an old myth? a bit confused honestly.
My toddler is now 3, and back when I was pregnant, I used to bend a lot to pick things up. Just squat down using your knees instead of bending directly from your waist. It is much easier on your back as your bump grows.
In my first pregnancy, I felt so paranoid whenever I had to bend. But my mother told me that gentle bending by squatting is fine. I just made sure to do it very slowly without putting pressure on my tummy.
Having gone through a miscarriage earlier, I was extremely careful in my next pregnancy. I avoided any sudden bending or lifting heavy things altogether. It is always better to be extra cautious and ask your doctor what is safe for your body.
Oh, bending down used to make my nausea and dizziness so much worse! If you have to pick something up, sit down on your knees slowly. Take it easy and don't strain your stomach.
Haha, honestly, the only bending I did was to reach the bottom drawer where I hid my midnight snacks! Just bend from your knees, not your back, so you don't hurt your posture.
I am planning my pregnancy now and I keep wondering about this too. Is it okay to do daily household chores like sweeping or picking up things, or do we have to stop bending completely?
