     A potbelly during pregnancy can easily lead to inconvenience in mobility. Therefore, for expectant mothers, what can you do to make your daily activities more comfortable? healthy

     After pregnancy, a pregnant woman's belly becomes enlarged and bulging, her center of gravity shifts forward, and the direction of force on various parts of her body also changes. Her sitting, standing, walking, etc. are all different from those before pregnancy, and her activities are restricted. In order to ensure that pregnant women can be healthy, successfully complete the pregnancy and avoid accidents, they must maintain correct postures.

      When pregnant women usually stand, they should keep their legs parallel and their feet slightly apart. Put your center of gravity on the soles of your feet to avoid fatigue easily. If you stand for a long time, you can adopt a "resting" posture, with one leg in front and one behind, with the center of gravity on the back leg and the front leg to rest; after a while, switch the front and rear legs, or shift the center of gravity to the front leg. When standing up from a sitting or squatting position, be careful to move slowly.

      When changing from a standing position to a sitting position, pregnant women should first use their hands to support their thighs or armrests, and then slowly sit down. If you are sitting on a chair, sit deeply in the chair and lean your back straight against the back of the chair. You can first sit slowly to the side, and then move back until you are seated firmly. But do not sit on the edge of the chair, otherwise it will easily slip. If the chair is unstable, there is a risk of falling. In addition, when sitting on a chair with a backrest, the hip and knee joints should be at right angles, and the thighs should be parallel to the horizon. When standing up from a sitting position, place your hands on your thighs first, and then stand up slowly.

      Because the pregnant woman's abdomen is protruding, her center of gravity is unstable and her vision is affected, making it easy for her to fall, so she should pay special attention when walking. The correct posture when walking is to raise your head, straighten your neck, put your chin against your chest, straighten your back, tighten your hips, and walk with balance throughout your body as if you are lifting your belly. When walking, you should look at the road clearly and wait until the front foot is firmly planted before stepping on the other foot to prevent falling.

      When picking things up from the ground, do not bend down directly, as this will put pressure on the abdomen. fetus not good. The correct posture should be to bend your knees first, then lower your waist and squat down, pick up things and put them on your knees, and then stand up to pick things up. The same goes for putting things down. First bend your knees, then lower your waist and squat. After putting things down, stand up slowly with your hands on your legs.
