Yoga ball induction action diagram

Yoga balls are very popular, especially among pregnant women, because practicing sitting on a yoga ball during pregnancy is very helpful for expectant mothers to give birth. Let’s learn about it together below! Pregnant women can learn about the detailed explanation of yoga ball labor-inducing postures.

What are the benefits of sitting on a yoga ball for pregnant women?

1. Promote blood circulation and have massage effect

Pregnant mothers can improve the elasticity, flexibility and strength of muscles from shallow to deep through yoga stretching and training, which will not cause pressure on the joints. Especially with the expansion of the abdomen and the shift of the center of gravity of the human body, pregnant women's yoga postures can help you maintain stability and create a good body shape. In addition, yoga for pregnant women can effectively improve blood circulation, relieve water retention, strengthen pelvic muscles, and common lower back pain in late pregnancy and other pregnancy pains can also be alleviated. Pregnant yoga can also help you control your blood pressure as soon as possible, which may effectively reduce the risk of preeclampsia.

2. It helps to adjust your mood and get rid of fatigue during pregnancy

Pregnant mothers can relieve their mental fluctuations during pregnancy and improve their self-control concept by meditating on happy scenes based on the meditation ideas in yoga fitness. In addition, prenatal yoga relaxation can help you get rid of fatigue during pregnancy and make you feel energetic. Practicing 1 hour of yoga for pregnant women is equivalent to 4 hours of good sleep.

Practicing yoga requires daily persistence to achieve good results. Most yoga classes will recommend that you take at least 3 classes a week, but it depends on the individual and should be arranged according to the actual situation of the pregnant mother.

3. Beneficial to the physical and mental health growth and development of the fetus

Generally speaking, moderate exercise during pregnancy is beneficial to the healthy growth and development of the baby, so choosing to sit on a yoga ball is also a good choice!

But I also want to tell pregnant mothers that it is best not to do those big yoga poses when sitting on the yoga ball. The baby in the pregnant mother's belly can't stand such big poses!

4. Opening the pelvis is beneficial for choosing a normal birth

Every pregnant mother who hopes to choose a natural birth knows that the yoga ball can help her to have a natural birth, so many pregnant mothers choose to sit on the yoga ball in the late stages of pregnancy.

Yoga balls have many benefits, but pregnant mothers should still be reminded that the use of yoga balls must be carried out under safe conditions.

How many weeks can pregnant women sit on yoga balls?

The best time for pregnant women to practice yoga ball is between 3.5 and 7 months of pregnancy. At this time, the embryo has implanted stably, and expectant mothers can choose appropriate exercise methods according to their physical fitness and previous exercise conditions. It is best to rest before three months of pregnancy, because the fetus is still in the test tube embryo stage, and the intensity of exercise should not be too high to avoid miscarriage.
