What is the best posture for pregnant women to use when squatting? It is not suitable for pregnant mothers to squat during pregnancy to prevent compression of the abdomen and causing fetal intrauterine hypoxia. Pregnant mothers have to squat when using squatting toilets, so they should be careful at this time. So, what is the best posture for pregnant women to squat? How should pregnant women squat? Let's have a simple understanding of this issue. I hope the following points will be helpful to everyone!

Which one is more popular among pregnant mothers: squat toilet or toilet?

Toilet habits are naturally related to lifestyle. If you have been accustomed to squatting since childhood, you may not be used to sitting on the toilet and cause constipation. For example, a friend has never been used to using the toilet. Because there is ice in the toilet, she is worried that water will splash onto her butt when she defecates. Similarly, if you are used to using a toilet, you will find squatting tiring, and your feet will easily become numb if you urinate for a long time.

Judging from the toilets built in public places in most big cities, squat toilets are generally more common. Because in everyone's impression, the sanitation of toilets in public places is not reliable. Since it is not possible to ensure that public toilets are disinfected after each use at present, some "experts" also recommend that toilets should be used in public places as much as possible.

2. Which one is more suitable for pregnant women during pregnancy, squat toilet or toilet? How to use it safely?

1. Is it better for pregnant women to use squat toilets?

Benefits: (1) Squatting to urinate can exercise the pelvic and foot muscles to a certain extent. (2) The environment is relatively hygienic and there is no need to worry about infection. The squat toilet does not need to come into direct contact with the PP, and can be flushed with water after use. If you are at home, cleaning the environment is also more convenient.

Disadvantages: (1) In the later stages of pregnancy, it is very easy to press on the abdomen when urinating, which may put pressure on the baby. Squatting for a long time may also affect the baby's free movement in the womb, and even cause the baby to lack oxygen. (2) Constipation is very common during pregnancy, and the feet may become numb after squatting for a long time.

Vaccine for the safety of pregnant women using squat toilets

Of course, in order not to press the fetus, it would be more suitable for pregnant women to use a toilet. But due to standard restrictions, what should pregnant women do if there is no toilet? They can only practice squatting skills diligently or try other methods. So how should pregnant women squat on the toilet to make it more comfortable and less harmful to the fetus? This is a very important question!

1. When squatting, do not squat too deep. Kneeling is enough.

2. Be sure to spread your legs wider and your feet apart in an "eight" shape to free up your abdomen in a suitable direction. This will make it more comfortable.

3. If you squat for a long time, you can stand up slightly after squatting for a while, take a break, or adjust your posture before continuing.

4. If it is convenient, and the bathroom is wide enough, you can add a table and chair of upper body height, so that you can lie on the table and chair with your upper body as a support point, and it will not be too tiring to do the horse stance.

5. If you really can’t squat, you should buy a toilet chair, which is retractable, more flexible and more portable. It can be considered a transformation of the toilet and squat toilet. Or you can DIY it yourself, dig a hole in the table and chair, then put the table and chair on the squat toilet, and then sit on the table and chair.
