Patient's question:
During pregnancy, it's always particularly uncomfortable, and morning sickness is also very severe. Can pregnant women stand for long periods of time?Doctor's answer:
Hello: When pregnant women do housework or go to work, they should try to do so while sitting as much as possible. The reason is that a woman's normal posture mainly relies on ligaments for support. As pregnancy progresses and the abdomen gains weight, simply relying on ligaments is far from sufficient. Muscles also need to provide assistance. Sitting can help alleviate the pressure on both ligaments and muscles, thereby preventing or reducing lower back pain in pregnant women.
