Sitting is uncomfortable in late pregnancy

In the third trimester, the fetus has basically developed and the pregnant woman's belly is gradually getting bigger. Not only can the pregnant woman's movements not change, but even sitting normally becomes very uncomfortable. However, if you can maintain a certain sitting posture, you can alleviate these uncomfortable symptoms. So, what is the correct sitting posture in the late pregnancy? Below we will introduce in detail the various correct postures in the late pregnancy.

How to maintain a sitting posture during late pregnancy:

The correct sitting posture for pregnant women is to lean their backs against the back of the chair. If necessary, you can put a small pillow near the kidneys. If a pregnant woman works while sitting, it is necessary to get up and walk around from time to time, as this will help blood circulation and prevent hemorrhoids. If a pregnant woman has a heavy workload of writing or using the computer, it is best to give herself some relaxation at least every hour.

How to walk during late pregnancy:

Hiking is very beneficial for pregnant women as it can increase the tone of the leg muscles, prevent varicose veins, and strengthen the abdominal muscles. But once you feel tired, stop immediately, find the nearest stool and sit down to rest for 5-10 minutes. If you don't have the conditions to take a walk in the park, you can choose a street with less traffic to avoid inhaling too much polluted car exhaust. When walking, be sure to keep your body upright and your shoulders relaxed. Before taking a walk, choose comfortable shoes, preferably with low heels and loose soles.

How to bend over during late pregnancy:

After six months, the weight of the baby puts a lot of pressure on the mother's spine and causes back pain in pregnant women. Therefore, try to avoid bending over as much as possible to avoid putting too much pressure on the spine. If a pregnant woman needs to pick up something from the ground, her abdomen will prevent her back from bending, so she should not only move forward slowly and gently, but also bend her knees first and distribute the weight of her whole body to her knees. Pregnant women should also follow the same steps when cleaning the bathroom or making the sofa or sofa bed.

How to stay upright during late pregnancy:

If a pregnant woman's job requires her to stand for long periods of time, this can slow down blood circulation in her legs, leading to edema and varicose veins. Pregnant women who are about to become mothers must take a break regularly by sitting on a chair and putting their feet on a small stool. This is beneficial to blood circulation and relaxing the back. If you don't have the conditions to sit, choose a standing position that makes your body most comfortable and exercise the corresponding muscle groups. For example, if you contract your buttocks, you will feel the abdominal muscles supporting your spine. Pregnant women often want to straighten their backs and stomachs, which can cause excruciating pain. Therefore, pregnant women who need to stand for a long time can try to shift their center of gravity from toes to heels and from one leg to the other to promote blood circulation.

How to take the bus during late pregnancy:

If a pregnant woman takes a long-distance train journey, sitting in a seat for several hours is harmful to her health. Therefore, it is necessary to stand up and walk around in the carriage on the train to facilitate blood circulation. Pregnant women riding on trolleybuses, buses and subways should not be shy about asking for a seat for themselves, for the sake of their own health and their unborn children, as sudden braking can cause you to lose balance and fall. In addition, you should wait until the vehicle comes to a complete stop before getting off. Pregnant women who ride in a car have relatively more room for choice. They can pick the most comfortable seat, leaning back on the sofa or lying down. If they feel tired, they can stop the car and rub their legs and feet.
