What should expectant mothers pay attention to when standing, standing, sitting and bending over in the third trimester?
1. Stand
When the expectant mother is standing, she should choose a more comfortable posture. Her legs should be parallel, her feet should be slightly apart, and her center of gravity should be pressed near the center of her feet, so that she will not get tired easily.
If you need to stand for a long time, in order to promote blood circulation, you can try to shift your center of gravity from your toes to your heels, and then move your legs slightly from time to time to relax your leg muscles. When you feel pain and numbness, you must sit down and rest.
In addition, Ma Jing also suggested that pregnant mothers, if there are no special circumstances, had better not stand for a long time, so as not to be too tired and have an accident.
get up
After pregnancy, the expectant mother's stomach is getting bigger and bigger, and it is more and more inconvenient to move. Different pregnancy has different precautions when getting up.
In the early stage of pregnancy, many expectant mothers will feel dizzy due to early pregnancy reaction, so they must get up slowly to avoid being too hasty; In the second trimester, the fetus is relatively stable, and the state of the expectant mother is relatively good, but there is no special attention. Just pay attention to safety; In the third trimester, the stomach is already very big, which is becoming more and more inconvenient. When expectant mothers get up and stand, they should try to be slow and orderly, so as not to be too nervous about their abdominal muscles. If the expectant mother needs to get up when she is "lying in bed", she should first lean sideways, lean forward with her shoulders and bend her knees, then support her body with elbows and cross her legs, then move her legs out of bed and sit up. Be sure to pay attention to safety when getting up. 3. Sitting posture
During pregnancy, most expectant mothers spend relatively little time standing, mostly sitting or lying down, so it is very important to "sit" while sitting.
Correct posture: When sitting, resting or watching TV, expectant mothers should try to keep their back straight and close to the backrest, because the backrest of the chair can support the waist and reduce the pressure on the abdomen, or put a small cushion on the back of the waist.
Precautions:
Don't cross your legs when sitting (don't cross your legs). It's best to put your feet on a small stool, and put your feet too high, which is good for blood circulation; If you sit in an air-conditioned room, you'd better wear a pair of pants or cover your legs with a blanket, because sitting often may cause cramps and other discomfort in your legs. bend down
After pregnancy, many expectant mothers are afraid to "bend over" for fear of squeezing their babies.
In the third trimester, the fetus is getting heavier and heavier, and the baby's weight will also increase the pressure on the mother's spine, causing the mother's back pain. In addition, it is not convenient to have a big belly, so mothers should try to avoid bending over to avoid burdening the spine.
However, when it is inevitable to bend over in life, when the expectant mother confirms that she must bend over, she must pay attention to safety. When bending down, she not only moves forward slowly and gently, but also kneels down and distributes the weight of her whole body to her knees.
Sleep posture
Generally, after pregnancy, go for prenatal examination. Most doctors advise expectant mothers to "lie on their side" when sleeping. So many expectant mothers are very obedient. They always lie on their left side, where they dare not move. As a result, they slept very tired and even had backache.
After pregnancy, must I sleep in the "left lateral position" every day?
In fact, there is no need to take a "left lateral position" after pregnancy. Without special circumstances, expectant mothers can choose their comfortable sleeping position. You can try to sleep on your left side in the third trimester.
Pregnant women can do this when they have leg fatigue, edema and calf cramps:
You can put a cushion between your legs, or you can put a cushion under your feet and raise your legs, so that you can sleep better. You can also buy a pillow for pregnant women to sleep, which will make pregnant mothers feel more comfortable.
walk up and down stairs
Mothers-to-be know that going up and down the stairs often is beneficial to the delivery, so many mothers-to-be will deliberately take the stairs often. However, expectant mothers should also pay attention to the movement of "going up and down the stairs":
Don't hold the cat's waist, and don't push the belly out too high, so as not to be blocked by the bulging belly, just straighten your back; Try to put your hand on the railing or wall of the stairs and find a good support, which will help the expectant mother to go upstairs easily and reduce accidents; Look at the stairs clearly, and step on the stairs with your whole foot, instead of just stepping on half the steps, so it is easy to slip. The above are the methods and precautions of different actions of expectant mothers during pregnancy; Some expectant mothers may think that these daily postures will not affect the fetus, and they will not pay attention when they feel free to move. But sometimes accidents always happen at a certain moment, so only by paying full attention to daily movements can we fully ensure the safety of ourselves and our baby.
I hope I can help you, and I wish you all the best during pregnancy and the baby is born safely and smoothly.
