Patient's question:
I am 29 years old and currently 18 weeks pregnant. I have always wanted to have a healthy baby. Are there any requirements for sitting posture during pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Actually, after getting pregnant, it's better to avoid the following three sitting postures, as they are not good for both the mother and the fetus. Severe cases may even harm the fetus.1. Sitting with legs crossed (like a frog). Many people are accustomed to this posture, so they often don't pay attention after getting pregnant. However, this sitting position can cause joint damage for pregnant women if done for a long time.
2. Sitting halfway on a chair. With the high pressure of modern society, many pregnant women still endure focusing on their work and leaving the office. Sometimes, due to work being busy, they sit halfway on a chair. Their hands hover in the air while typing on the keyboard, and their waist has nothing to support it. This can harm the waist and shoulders for pregnant women, and prolonged sitting is also bad for the fetus.
