Pregnant with twins, can I exercise?
According to the twin pregnancy guidelines, there is no evidence that lying down and resting can improve the outcome of twin pregnancy.
On the contrary, proper exercise during pregnancy helps to improve sleep quality, relieve discomfort during pregnancy, relieve stress and improve mood, which is also one of the important ways of prenatal education.
As long as the physical condition is good, there are no special complications during pregnancy, the twins are well developed, the indexes of prenatal examination are normal, and there is no other discomfort, proper exercise is completely possible.
However, pregnant mothers with the following conditions are not suitable for exercise.
Anemia or often feel weak and tired
Severe morning sickness, electrolyte flocculation disorder
Suffering from chronic bronchitis or asthma.
Symptoms of threatened abortion or bleeding in early pregnancy
A child is premature.
There are signs of premature delivery during pregnancy, such as short cervical canal …
After 26 weeks, the placenta is still in the placenta previa.
Pregnancy complicated with preeclampsia or pregnancy-induced hypertension
Suffering from heart disease, diabetes, epilepsy or thyroid disease.
Fetal growth restriction
Being underweight or overweight
After reading these inappropriate situations, I can understand why some doctors don't advocate the exercise of twin pregnant mothers.
Because most pregnant mothers with twins have a high probability of the above situation, almost everyone acquiesces: "Oh, let's lie with twins!" "
Will lying down more be foolproof? Can you guarantee full-term delivery?
Whether it is singleton or multiple births, if there is no proper exercise during pregnancy, it will lead to a series of consequences, such as premature edema, excessive weight gain, easy depression and irritability, and more seriously, it is easy to form deep venous thrombosis of lower limbs, endangering the lives of mother and two fetuses.
Therefore, whether twin pregnancy can be exercised, not across the board, should weigh the pros and cons according to their pregnancy!
To give the simplest example, in order to give birth naturally, you can't have abdominal pain and bleeding, or you have to walk to work.
On the contrary, in order to avoid premature birth, you can't eat, drink, sleep on the mattress, and don't go out and walk.
How do twin mothers exercise correctly?
What do you think is the difference between twins and singletons? Is it as simple as having a fetus in the womb?
Don't! Many attention points of twins during pregnancy will be treated differently. The most obvious difference is the amount of exercise in the late pregnancy.
For the only-child mother, the doctor is so encouraging: "Don't be lazy, walk more, climb more stairs, and strive for a natural birth!"
For twin mothers, the doctor's words are completely different: "Don't walk around, rest at home, twins are unlikely to have children, lie down if you can!"
It can be seen that the amount of exercise of twins during pregnancy can't be compared with that of singletons at all, so it is necessary to make use of the situation in stages.
Tell me about my experience. ...
I am a single-cashmere double-sheep, and I insist on 35 weeks +5. Besides my diet during pregnancy, I also benefited from proper exercise during pregnancy.
At the beginning of pregnancy, because of vomiting, I basically couldn't go out except to work.
In the second trimester, I will go for a walk in the hanging garden downstairs during working hours. After dinner, I will play in the circle with my father, about 2 kilometers back and forth, three times a week.
In the third trimester, because the cervical canal was too short after 28 weeks, she refused to be hospitalized and stayed at home to protect the fetus.
In addition to routine check-ups, I basically didn't go out for a walk, and went to the living room-toilet, which lasted for 33 weeks. I had to be hospitalized because of miscarriage.
During the period of miscarriage protection in the hospital, the doctor told me not to go downstairs and try to lie down, so I had to walk outside the hospital corridor and go back to lie down in 5 minutes.
Even if I went to the clinic for B-ultrasound and electrocardiogram, I was always served in a wheelchair, and finally I had a laparotomy until 35 weeks +5.
My twin pregnancy may not be a very successful example, but all my brothers were born above 5 kg, and their scores were 10. They didn't go into the incubator, just stayed in the neonatal department for a few days, and I was satisfied. It is not difficult to see from my experience that all my exercise during pregnancy is concentrated in the second trimester.
The second trimester (13-28 weeks), with a good appetite, good mood and good sleep, is the coolest stage of the whole pregnancy. Only then will you have the idea of stretching your legs.
Therefore, in view of the different gestational weeks of twins, I propose the following exercise suggestions.
If there are no signs of threatened abortion in the first trimester and you feel good about yourself, you can take appropriate measures to relieve morning sickness. If morning sickness is severe or you are often dizzy and weak, try to rest at home.
In the second trimester, after the torture of early pregnancy, various functions of the body gradually return to normal, and the amount of exercise can be appropriately increased.
If you are an athlete yourself, go at your own pace. As long as you don't exercise too hard, just move your legs and you won't feel tired.
If you are a lazy girl before pregnancy, you should take it easy when exercising during pregnancy, choose some gentle exercise methods, and don't exceed the range that your body can bear.
It is true that the third trimester is almost insulated from exercise!
If any expert asks you to walk more in the third trimester, I'm afraid you can't do it, because a huge belly will cover your vision under your feet, making it difficult for you to keep your balance and fall to the ground at any time.
You may have to hold the wall when you walk. Don't expect to wander downstairs. Buy buy buys it.
Secondly, the expanding uterus will squeeze your internal organs and your lungs, and you will feel suffocated. You need to take a deep breath before you feel relieved.
Can you still exercise like this?
Also, with iron deficiency anemia, you can't exercise and your blood volume can't be supplied. You will often feel dizzy, tired and weak, and you may faint when you walk.
Except for the needs of prenatal examination, I have to go out, and the exercise in the late pregnancy is very limited. At most, I just hang around in the living room, shake my hands, shake my feet and stretch.
So, don't stand if you can sit, and don't sit if you can lie down. This is the only requirement for exercise in the third trimester.
What exercise is suitable for twin mothers during pregnancy?
For twin pregnant mothers, the best way to exercise is walking. Walking is good exercise during pregnancy as long as you feel comfortable.
Holding Bao Dad's hand, walking on the park path with fresh air feels beautiful.
If you have back pain, pubic pain or slight edema, walking slowly can also relieve your discomfort.
Some pregnant mothers who are athletes or dance lovers before pregnancy may try to do some high-risk sports, such as swimming, lifting dumbbells and doing aerobics. Here, I don't advocate or oppose it. This is related to the age, personal physique and health level of pregnant women, which varies from person to person.
Foreign pregnant women can dance tango, practice yoga and even jump into the swimming pool for life in the third trimester, which is a small case for them! But for most pregnant mothers, this is the big boss, and the world is amazing!
Because of our physical condition, we can't reach that level at all.
The most important thing is that national conditions are different. Maybe if you walk faster, your mother-in-law or mother will scream like thunder: "slow down, don't walk so fast, be careful of my two grandchildren!" "
What are the consequences of improper exercise during pregnancy?
I have seen so many cases of sudden breakthrough in the third trimester, and almost all of them have come to the conclusion that they have been walking more than usual recently and are tired. And the day before the water broke, I went to the dental clinic to see my wisdom teeth. I waited for 3 hours and tossed around all afternoon ... Let's take a look at other precautions for twin mothers during pregnancy.
Don't be brave.
The original intention of exercise during pregnancy is to make yourself feel more energetic and energetic through exercise, rather than sticking to the finish line like running a marathon.
You don't have to set yourself a goal, you don't have to ask how many steps you have to take and how many calories you consume!
Please note that you are pregnant now. As long as you feel tired and unwell, stop and rest immediately!
Less exercise = absolutely lying down? Don't!
In the prenatal examination in the third trimester, doctors almost always tell them to walk less and rest more.
"Walk less" here doesn't mean lying absolutely.
Absolutely lying down means you can't get out of bed for 24 hours. You eat in bed, not at the dinner table, you stink in bed, not in the toilet, you can only wipe in bed when you take a shower, not in the bathtub.
Did you see redness, water coming out, contractions and open fingers?
If not, you don't have to do this to yourself at all!
You should be lucky to be able to sit at the dinner table with dignity and have a leisurely bite of rice in the third trimester!
Everything is subject to the wishes of the pregnant mother.
1, limit or heavy weight, adopt the second breathing method.
Take two or three deep breaths before the action begins. Inhal
