During pregnancy, sitting improperly not only makes expectant mothers tired, uncomfortable, and affects the health of the mother but also negatively impacts the development of the fetus. Below are 5 positions that expectant mothers should absolutely avoid.
Position 1: Sitting without back support
Position 2: Half lying, half sitting
This is the most common sitting position for expectant mothers on the bed, causing significant pressure on the spine. Sitting in this position for a long time can cause discomfort and pain.
Position 3: Sitting with crossed legs
Position 4: Sitting with tense shoulders
During relaxation, it's common for us to loosen muscles and relax our shoulders. However, for expectant mothers, the spine is already tense due to the weight of the baby in the womb. Sitting in this position for too long will cause the spine to arch more, making the body more tired and fatigued.
Position 5: Sitting hunched forward
So how should expectant mothers sit properly?
The best sitting posture involves sitting up straight, leaning against the back of the chair, and placing a small pillow behind your back. Choose a chair that allows your feet to touch the floor or place something under your feet to reduce pressure on the mother's spine.
