Pregnant women squatting is harmful to the fetus

Most pregnant women are young people. Because they are excited about their first pregnancy, they don’t know much about some pregnancy knowledge. They think that as long as it does not affect their own activities, they can exercise vigorously. For example, many pregnant mothers will exercise and dance during pregnancy, and they think there is nothing wrong with it. Some people will choose to squat, but if they use too much force during the squatting process, it is very likely to cause bleeding or premature miscarriage, so don’t squat violently.

Pregnant women can squat.

Expectant mothers can do squatting exercises, which are the best way to enhance their leg strength. They can greatly increase the time of squatting delivery and effectively reduce the pain of delivery. Squatting exercises can also prevent expectant mothers from tearing the perineum and causing perineal bleeding during childbirth.

As long as you don't feel uncomfortable, it will not affect the baby. In fact, doing more squatting exercises can help natural childbirth, so don't worry. But you have to pay attention to the squatting action, it should be like a frog squat, with your legs spread apart. Just don't squeeze your belly, and squat gently and steadily. In the later stages of pregnancy, your belly will get bigger, and it will be inconvenient to do housework. You should do things slowly and not rush. Doing housework regularly will be good for your future delivery.

The worry about "unsmooth delivery" is the reason why most "expectant mothers" are unwilling to give birth naturally. Therefore, learning some exercises that are conducive to natural childbirth can help them dispel their concerns. Pregnant women can do some light exercises, such as lifting dumbbells, squatting and other strength training, but pregnant women should also be careful not to do too much exercise, as excessive exercise is not good for the fetus.

Precautions for pregnant women to squat

1. If a pregnant woman feels pain when doing squats, she should go for a check-up first to determine whether the situation is dangerous.

2. It is not advisable to squat or bend over for a long time, because this posture will increase abdominal pressure, affect blood circulation, and be detrimental to the growth and development of the fetus.

3. Pregnant women should try to avoid bending over and squatting when mopping or sweeping the floor. Frequent bending over and squatting during pregnancy will aggravate back pain, and bending over and squatting can easily squeeze the fetus in the abdomen. If you must bend down and squat, you should hold on to the fulcrum and squat down slowly, and then slowly stand up with the support of yourselves. Don't squat or stand up suddenly, as this will only hurt the fetus.

4. Pregnant women with low-lying placenta should try not to squat. Squatting during pregnancy will cause the cervix to open naturally, increasing the risk of placental abruption. If the situation is serious, it will cause premature birth or miscarriage.
