What happens if you stay in the toilet for a long time during pregnancy?

For many girls, their daily life is not very convenient during pregnancy. For example: when peeing, is it better for expectant mothers to use the toilet or the squat toilet? As the abdomen becomes larger, squatting toilets are not very convenient for expectant mothers, because squatting toilets for a long time will have a certain impact on the baby. At the same time, squatting toilets will also cause great trouble to pregnant women. Next, let’s take a look at what impact squatting for a long time will have on the fetus.

Does squatting for a long time while peeing during pregnancy have any effect on the fetus?

After pregnancy, pregnant women will experience "frequent urination and urgency". This is because the uterus gradually enlarges over time and will be compressed against the bladder, causing frequent urination and urgency. Expectant mothers should note that if only the frequency of urination increases, without symptoms of inability to hold urine or pain when urinating, this kind of frequent urination and urgency is normal during pregnancy and will not affect the fetus.

Generally speaking, pregnant women urinate in the same way as ordinary people, about 5-10 minutes. If it exceeds this time, it will cause many problems.

1. After pregnancy, due to morning sickness, many expectant mothers are more averse to vegetables, fruits and other foods. If it is winter, there are not many fresh fruits and some high-fiber foods that can be eaten, which will cause constipation. If pregnant women do not defecate, stomach pain is actually a very painful thing.

2. It takes a long time to urinate, whether it is a squat toilet or a toilet. When defecating, you need to exert force for a long time to maintain strong abdominal pressure, and the pelvic floor muscles will be stressed. If it lasts for a long time, it will easily cause hemorrhoids, stress urinary incontinence, uterine prolapse and other conditions. Pregnant women may also suffer from uterine contraction and cervical dysplasia.

The harm of long-term squatting on the toilet during pregnancy

1. The condition of pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy is also unstable. During this period, long-term sitting, standing, and squatting are very detrimental to the growth and development of the fetus.

2. Pregnant women who squat on the toilet for a long time in the middle stage of pregnancy are very likely to develop hemorrhoids.

3. In the late stages of pregnancy, as the belly of pregnant women becomes larger, long-term squatting can easily cause fetal intrauterine hypoxia, and in severe cases, it can cause the risk of premature birth.

4. As the belly of a pregnant woman grows in the later stages of pregnancy, her body will become heavier. Squatting for a long time can easily lead to numbness in the legs and dizziness. If there is no one around, accidents can easily occur.
