Pregnant women should try to keep their bodies in a relaxed state during pregnancy, and do some exercise when necessary, which is not only good for the fetus but also helpful for the body. If pregnant women often sit for a long time due to pregnancy, it is particularly easy to cause lumbar diseases and may also cause abdominal pain. So what are the effects of sitting for a long time during pregnancy on the fetus?
General office work will not have a significant impact on normal pregnant women. However, maintaining the same posture for a long time may cause discomfort, and back pain and edema are common problems. For office workers who need to sit for long periods of time, it is recommended that they get up from their seats and stretch their muscles every once in a while. During pregnancy, it is easy to suffer from back pain due to the enlarged uterus and hormonal changes. If you maintain the same posture for a long time, the symptoms of back pain will be aggravated. In addition, sitting for a long time can easily cause edema. In addition to standing up and moving more often, pregnant mothers can wear elastic socks on a regular basis and elevate their feet when they return home to allow smooth venous return in the feet, which can alleviate symptoms. In fact, pregnant mothers themselves are a high-risk group for venous thrombosis. During pregnancy, estrogen levels increase and blood coagulation function enters a hypercoagulable state. Physiological changes, coupled with reduced activity during pregnancy, make blood flow relatively slow, and platelets are more likely to aggregate and adhere, creating conditions for thrombosis. If you sit still at home, blood clots may grow quietly. Therefore, whether you are a pregnant mother who is trying to protect the fetus, a mother who is about to give birth, or a new mother who is in confinement, you need to take the initiative to move, including turning over in bed, especially moving your feet and toes frequently, or asking family members to help massage the lower limb muscles. When the weather is good, go for more walks outdoors. |
