In the third trimester, because the abdomen is stretched to the limit, pregnant mothers feel particularly hard and tired after a little activity, and sometimes they feel that they can neither sit nor lie down, which is really too difficult. In fact, this is a normal phenomenon in the third trimester. Most pregnant mothers have this kind of situation, so do I. I gained more than 30 kilograms during pregnancy, and my stomach is as big as pregnant twins, so I feel particularly hard and often don't know whether to lie down or walk.

So, what should I do if I don't like sitting and walking in the third trimester?

If you don't like sitting in the third trimester, then pregnant mothers can stand up and walk more, or go for a walk or go shopping; If you don't like lying down, you can walk more, which can exercise your muscles and help you to give birth smoothly in the future. If you feel tired when walking, pregnant mothers can sit or lie down and rest appropriately, in any way that they feel comfortable.

In fact, if you don't like sitting, lying and walking in the third trimester, it is mostly because the posture of sitting and lying is wrong, and the walking time is too long, so this series of problems are easy to appear. If you want to sit comfortably and lie comfortably, but you won't be so tired when you walk, then pregnant mothers should use the right methods to relieve all kinds of discomfort.

How to alleviate this situation?

1. When sitting

In the third trimester of pregnancy, the uterus is enlarged, the fetus is about to enter the basin or has already entered the basin, and the stomach begins to fall. Pregnant mothers will feel particularly sour in the lumbar spine after sitting for a while. At this time, the pregnant mother can choose a cushion to put on her back, or sit with her hands dragging her abdomen. Control the sitting time at about 20 minutes each time, and then get up and walk around, so that pregnant mothers will be much more comfortable. At the same time, don't cross your legs when sitting, which will not only cause oppression in the uterus, but also be detrimental to the blood circulation of the lower limbs, and easily cause edema and calf cramps.

2. When lying down

Most pregnant mothers lie on the sofa or bed when they feel tired. Incorrect posture will make pregnant mothers feel uncomfortable lying down, and lying down for a long time is not conducive to digestion and exercise.

The correct way to lie should be like this:

First of all, choose the left lateral position, which is conducive to blood circulation and increase the oxygen of the fetus. When lying on your side, you can put a cushion under your abdomen and entrust your drooping stomach to make your pregnant mother breathe more smoothly. If you feel your legs are particularly sour when you lie down, you can put a cushion under your legs to raise the height of your legs, which is beneficial to blood circulation. In addition to sleeping at night, pregnant mothers try not to lie down for a long time during the day. They take a nap and lie down for 1 hour, usually for a few minutes. 3. When walking

Whether it is a walk or a daily walk in the third trimester, if the time is not well controlled, pregnant mothers will easily feel tired. At this time, the requirements for walking are actually quite high, such as:

1. The time for each walk should not be too long. Try to keep it within 30 minutes. If you feel unable to walk, you must stop and have a rest.

2. It is not suitable to wear ordinary shoes in the third trimester, and should be replaced with shoes larger than size 2, and flat shoes and breathable cloth shoes are the best.

3. If the pregnant mother walks a lot, remember to soak her feet with hot water when she goes home, which can relieve fatigue; You can also ask your husband to help massage your calves and quickly eliminate fatigue.

In short: the third trimester itself is a particularly hard stage, and mothers can tolerate it. Everything will be fine after the baby is born.
