Can pregnant women use cupping?

It is not easy to be pregnant for ten months. This process goes on day by day and many things will happen during this period. Pregnancy is a happy thing for many families, but pregnant women usually have many problems that they don’t understand, so you must know what to pay attention to during pregnancy. Some people ask if cupping can be done during pregnancy? What are the harms after cupping?

Can I do cupping when I am pregnant?

1. Pregnant women generally do not need cupping. Normally it can dredge the meridians and regulate blood. Through cupping, the body's tissues and organs can be activated, thereby eliminating the effect of hysteria. However, cupping is not suitable for pregnant women, as it may cause threatened miscarriage. Especially cupping is not allowed in the abdomen, groin and other parts. Cupping for pregnant women not only has adverse effects on the pregnant women themselves, but also causes abnormal growth and development of the fetus.

2. If it is a special case, it needs to be carried out under the specific guidance of a doctor. If pregnant women experience headaches, fatigue and other discomforts during pregnancy, they can be relieved through some massage.

3. There are many things to pay attention to when doing massage. You should drink more water and rest regularly. Pregnant women with back pain can use their waist to support their waist, relieve fatigue of the lumbar disc, try to reduce long-term standing and walking, and sit down to rest often.

Things to note during pregnancy

1. Take a walk. You should exercise appropriately during this period, but not too much, so taking a walk is the best choice. Taking a walk can promote the contraction of calf and foot muscles, accelerate blood circulation, reduce lower limb swelling, reduce constipation, improve appetite, exercise energy, exercise joints and muscles, and promote delivery of pregnant women. However, special attention should be paid to not hiking for too long. It’s best not to be tired. Standing for too long or sitting for too long may affect the blood circulation system or cause fatigue, which may cause premature birth.

2. Don't be too restless and don't be afraid that excessive activity will lead to miscarriage. Simply resting the fetus and being carefree is actually not good and harmful. Because too little exercise will reduce gastrointestinal motility, causing loss of appetite, indigestion, constipation, etc., which is also harmful to health and may even hinder the growth of the baby.

3. Sexual intercourse in the late pregnancy should be careful. At this time, the uterus is more sensitive to uterine contractions, and obvious stimulation can easily cause premature birth; and at this time, vaginal mucosal hematoma is easily damaged. Under normal circumstances, try to avoid sexual intercourse in the late pregnancy.

Based on the above description, I believe that most pregnant women have a certain grasp of the daily necessities. Pregnant women do not need to do excessive exercise or do complicated work to avoid affecting the growth of the fetus. They should maintain a good mood and prepare bottles, toilet paper, diapers, clothes, etc. for the baby after birth, as well as the mother's diapers, clothes, etc.
