Can I cross my legs when I’m pregnant? What should I pay attention to?

Many children are accustomed to crossing their legs for a long time when they are in high school or junior high school. First of all, this sitting posture is very uncivilized, and many people know that it is not good for the development of the legs. However, some people like to cross their legs when they are pregnant. So what effects does this have on pregnant women? Let's follow the editor to find out.

Doctors in North America have always warned that pregnant women should not cross their legs. The biggest harm is slight deformation of the pelvis, which makes natural delivery unfavorable.

If you sit for a long time, you should put a small foot pad under your feet. The height varies from person to person, but make sure your knees are higher than your hips, which can effectively prevent swelling of your legs. Remember, it works very well. Many pregnant women use this trick and their feet won’t be swollen until the end.

The result of crossing your legs for a long time is the displacement of the pelvis, lumbar spine and spine, which will not only cause low back pain, back pain and herniated disc, but may also cause the legs to be different in length and cause the hip bones to become enlarged and deformed.

Crossing your legs will hinder blood circulation in your legs and may cause varicose veins in your legs. In addition, the forces on your knees are different when you cross your legs, and the knee joint that is more often worn will degenerate prematurely. Degenerative arthritis can affect your health. When a pregnant woman is pregnant, the fetus in her belly will increase the pressure on the lumbar spine. If she also has the habit of crossing her legs, the lumbar spine will be under double pressure, which will "add insult to injury" and cause a series of health problems. During pregnancy, the fetus is in the lower abdomen. When crossing your legs, the fetus will be compressed, which will affect the normal development of the fetus. Therefore, pregnant women should pay special attention not to cross their legs and must be more careful to sit properly.

I believe that based on the above introduction by the editor, everyone will understand that you must sit upright during pregnancy, otherwise it will cause placenta dislocation, which is very inconvenient during delivery, and in severe cases it will lead to dystocia. During pregnancy, you need to pay attention to various aspects of life. If you are not careful, it will lead to various problems in delivery. You should pay attention to health conditioning in your daily life.
