Pregnant women should walk more in the third trimester. What exercise is suitable for pregnant women?
Pregnant mother asked me, "What exercise can I do in the third trimester?"

In the third trimester, the body will become clumsy, false contractions will become more and more frequent, and may also be accompanied by pudendal pain, coccygeal pain, edema and other problems. But in order to maintain physical strength, we should still insist on eating and exercising.

In the third trimester, due to labor, we should always be alert to premature delivery, which is not suitable for strong exercise. Generally speaking, walking and yoga are the best, and you can also practice some actions to promote childbirth.

Walking is the most economical and convenient exercise. I only do this exercise in the third trimester. After dinner and between work, I will take time to go for a walk.

Walking after meals can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and promote food digestion. In the third trimester, the gastrointestinal tract is squeezed by the enlarged uterus, which is prone to heartburn symptoms. After walking, you can digest food in time to alleviate this symptom.

Walking can enhance the resistance of pregnant women. If you walk in the outdoor sun, you can also supplement vitamin D to promote bone development. Walking can accumulate physical strength for childbirth and promote the smooth delivery.

Walking can also promote uterine contraction without causing labor stagnation. Because the fetal head becomes heavier than the body, it will basically stay in the mother's stomach with its head down. Mother's walking can keep the fetus in this state.

Don't walk a long way every day, and it is more appropriate to control it within half an hour-1hour. If the time is too long, it will make the body feel uncomfortable, which will easily lead to false contractions and frequent fetal movements.

You'd better find your family to accompany you when you go out for a walk, because if the fetus is activated in the third trimester, you can't handle it yourself. If you have to go out for a walk alone, be sure to bring your mobile phone and contact your family if necessary. Don't mute, so that your family can find you.

Yoga Yoga is a relaxing exercise. In soothing music, stretching your body slowly will relax your mood. However, many pregnant mothers don't want to do yoga in a professional yoga studio. They can do some simple actions at home with videos.

After walking, you can try the following actions to protect your feet:

1, lying on the right side, knees bent, legs lifted to waist height, left hand and right knee kept in a straight line.

2. Move the center of gravity to the left hand and left knee. Adjust the right knee below the right hip, support the right shoulder with the right hand, and focus on the limbs.

Sitting cross-legged can do some exercises to promote childbirth, such as sitting cross-legged. Sitting cross-legged can strengthen the muscle strength of the back, make the thighs and pelvis flexible, improve the blood circulation of the lower body, and separate well during childbirth.

You can do this:

1, sit on the mat or bed, sit down and keep your back straight.

2. Bend your legs, keep your feet opposite, and keep your feet as close to your body as possible.

3. Grasp the ankle with both hands, and press the inner thigh with both elbows outward to straighten the thigh.

4. Hold this position for 20 seconds.

5. Repeat 2-4 times.

If you feel cross-legged, you can sit cross-legged You can also put a cushion on each side of your thigh, or sit against the wall, which will be easier.

In short, the best exercise in the third trimester is walking. Pay attention to the gentle movements, don't walk too fast, and go home to relax.
