Is yoga harmful during pregnancy?

Because of the presence of the baby, a pregnant woman's body needs to consider the baby's development in everything she does. For example, there are many examples of pregnant women doing strenuous exercise during pregnancy causing placental instability and leading to miscarriage. Yoga is an indoor sport that can cultivate one's character, exercise the body, and improve one's temperament. Many women like to shape their bodies through yoga. So is there any harm in doing yoga during pregnancy?

1. Through the practice of yoga, you can improve your blood circulation, strengthen muscle strength and flexibility, strengthen the hip, spine and abdominal muscles to support the weight of the baby in the uterus, relieve waist and back pain, strengthen joints and muscles, and prevent bone wear and tear and muscle fatigue.

2. When pregnant mothers practice yoga, they stimulate the glands that control hormone secretion, increase and accelerate blood circulation, and thus control their breathing well, and improve chest tightness and shortness of breath.

3. While practicing yoga, the fetus can be given appropriate and gentle stimulation and massage, which increases the fetus's response to the outside world. The fetus can become more flexible and sensitive and grow healthily.

4. Excessive forward bending. Bending forward will compress the blood vessels and nerves connected to the uterus. To ensure normal blood flow, you can do a split-leg forward bend, open your legs moderately, and leave some space for your abdomen when you bend forward.

5. Deep twisting. Excessive twisting of the body can also reduce blood circulation in the body, so when doing twisting movements, you must adopt an open posture and do not touch your knees.

1. Walking. Walking can not only improve the functions of the nervous system and organs such as the heart and lungs, but also strengthen the activity of the leg muscles and abdominal wall muscles. Pregnant women can take a walk every morning after getting up and after dinner. Adjust the time and distance of your walk according to your own feelings.

2. Exercises for pregnant women are a health exercise for pregnant women. They can prevent waist and leg pain caused by weight gain and changes in center of gravity, relax the muscles of the waist and pelvis, prepare for the smooth passage of the fetus through the birth canal during future delivery, and enhance confidence.

Proper exercise can help mothers relieve fatigue and ensure the healthy growth of babies. I believe most mothers already know about the advantages and disadvantages of yoga during pregnancy. For the health of the baby, mothers should also do some appropriate exercise regularly. However, some exercises may not be suitable for pregnant mothers, so please be careful.
