I’m actually sittin like that right now! No, it won’t harm your baby… I sat like that all through my pregnancy, well, as long as I could!
Here’s a tip.. cocoa butter… all over your tummy, thighs, butt, breasts… all the time. as often as you can. this will HELP prevent stretchmarks. There are no promises, but it helps a ton. Trust me on this one. Also, no hair dye… no chemicals in contact with your skin (other than normal soaps, shampoos, styling products, etc,) and other than that, just life normal life.
no this wont harm the baby, just watch out i have realized that my feet fall asleep a lot faster then usual, i have almost fallen a few times, so you might want to be carefull of that. and for a while i got light headed when i stood up too fast, that can be a pain. and different people say different things about sleeping, some say stop sleeping on your stomach after 3 months, others say you can sleep on your stomach till its uncomfortable, i am not sure what is the right answer on that one. but ask your doc if you are worried, they can be a real comfort.
That will hurt you before it hurts your baby. I take care not to pick up big things or bend over a lot. Other than that it is cleaning stuff I avoid. I don’t use any house cleaners and we have 3 dogs which makes for a very messy yard (if you know what I mean) I don’t pick up the yard anymore either for fear of bacteria.
As you get bigger, you will move more carefully so as to not chance of falling or tripping. Eating a balanced diet is great for you and the baby. Also, do not drink while you are pregnant. I agree with your first answer that it will be more difficult to sit in your position you like but again, as you get bigger, you won’t be able to comfortably anyway. Congrats and the best of luck to you and the baby!
Yes I do.
I try not to sit for very long periods of time because it decreases your circulation and can make your legs ache and worsen varicose veins. I also try not to cross my legs for similar reasons.
By 16 weeks, you should be avoiding laying flat on your back for anything length of time, including trying not to sleep on it. When you lie flat on your back, your uterus presses on a major vein and cuts off blood flow to your lower half. Sleeping and laying on your left side is best.
As for standing up – be careful how suddenly you do this. There are two reasons. One is that you may feel a sharp pain at the sides of your uterus if you make sudden movements. This is round ligament pain and it’s normal, but it hurts! (You can also get this pretty badly just from sneezing or coughing). The other reason is that standing up too quickly can cause a sudden drop in blood pressure and lead you to feel very dizzy.
When you bend to get or lift something, bend at the knees/squat. This will save your back and help strengthen your legs for labor and birth.
The way that you like to sit won’t harm the baby, though when I sit like this, I tend to feel my baby moving more – I think because the baby gets cramped and is trying to let me know that s/he doesn’t like it.
