Sat like that my entire 1st pregnancy FAST LABOR
Avoided sitting 2nd pregnancy, did all the things, LONG ASS LABOR
Sometimes stress is the cause 🙁
As someone who works a desk job for 9 hours a day, it is impossible to sit straight for that long. I do everything i can from sitting on pregnancy ball, standing desk, etc. but it is impossible to keep that up for 9 hours. It feels so good to sit & relax in my office chair after 5 hours of sitting on the ball/standing 😂 i am exhausted, but im hoping its still better than nothing & I'm doing my best
..don’t sit?
I noticed whenever I seat, my baby whos in cephalic position moves a lot! I thought he’s getting bent from my inside
I'm 36 weeks with my 3rd child and I been feeling alot of pressure and discomfort in my pelvic area due to baby being so engaged in my pelvis and sitting slight back rather than straight up feels alot more comfortable so not sure how accurate this info is for all women.
Honestly this is all well and good but when you’re 12 million months pregnant and not allowed to recline or sit comfortably because of this or that it just becomes completely unrealistic. There is a rule for every single thing in pregnancy until as a mother you feel completely suffocated and paralyzed. If you aren’t perfect in every way then something terrible will happen, you won’t be able to birth etc etc etc. It’s become completely ridiculous.
What about car drives?
Why do you wear pillow under your t-shirt? In most videos you are not pregnant at all .
I used to sit in the couch in this position throughout my pregnancy. And i had a sunnyside up delivery. It was very painful and epidural didnt work. Also 5 stiches episotomy. Better avoid slouching ladies..
I understand sitting leaned back is wrong. But I like breathing.
Sadly my work does not offer that type of chair to be able to go on that position squat i do it not carious times a day because i do the barbell stronglifting back squat so it increases my strength on my muscles and so far so good.
خدا خیرت بده زن، بچه هاتو برات نگه داره
I'm even seating wrong
Veg c/❤t gtt 34rr😅d😊😅😅
My problem with the ball is that when I sit I'm usually reading with a book in hand or I'm knitting, so my shoulder and neck hurts a lot.
I sneezed while squatting with my first child and my water broke at 37 weeks…just saying, don’t sneeze while you squat
Sweet, thank you! I just got a ball to use instead of my desk chair at work and I squat all the time. I always thought I was just a weirdo but that’s what my body wants me to do, and maybe it’s been for a reason 😅
My son hates when I sit up like that because it shoves him into the front (and my placenta) and down. He is much more active, and happy if Im reclined a bit.
Which weeks should I start adhering to this? I'm 18 weeks. Is it too early?
Is yoga/meditation sitting good for pregnancy?
Your body has a way of telling you it's uncomfortable This woman is so wrong
To this woman you're doing everything wrong
Existing wrong You're living wrong You're sitting wrong you're breathing wrong You're wrong altogether
Do what you want your body will tell you if you're uncomfortable or not
I sit like this and I'm perfectly fine
No offence, but this position is extremely exhausting for me😳
Is seating on recliner safe?
Well my baby was completely favorable until the day of birth, apparently, so I don’t think I did anything wrong. It think it was just bad luck. He didn’t come out and I had to have a c-section after 4 hours of pushing in various positions and attempts to move him. 😣
She is right althoug it looks different on everyon. I have more weight on my chest for example
I wonder if you have any tips for out and about. Places like church or college in which we sit for extended periods of time but cannot do anything out of the ordinary in our chairs. What can I bring to help me through and help me sit up for that long?
Is necessary to be careful of how i seat during the whole pregnancy or for example the last two months? I know it's better position for the body eithewish but when it won't be so late to correct my seat position?
Is this belly real?
What is supposed to be the best/safest placenta position?
Don’t sit like this,don’t eat that,don’t breath like that,sleep like this…omg Y’all be fcking stressing mothers since day one ffs
No matter what you do, baby decides the way it wants to come into this world. I had an awesome pregnancy. I was super active, diligently followed all exercises every single day until 40 weeks. Also walked everyday for 30-50 minutes. , I didn't lay on my back or reclined on the couch for 9 months to make sure baby's position was right.
My baby's position was right 5 days before birth but 2days prior, she decided to turn and go posterior and didn't want to turn back. So my labour was extremely painful and traumatic. Had an episiotomy and forceps birth.
Having said that, because I was so active and did all the recommended exercises, I believe it helped me recover sooner than I thought.
So to be mommies, don't expect a painfree delivery, it would be awesome if you end up having one but just don't be soo hopeful and then be disappointed. Continue with all exercises but also prepare for everything. I was so damn sure that my delivery would be easy after following all the exercises and an easy as pregnancy that I was super disappointed after birth thinking all the workout i did were an absolute waste.
When in the pregnancy would you start sitting like this? Thanks
Remove that pillow ang get pregnant! And then do it….
And then then say these craps….
Its not easy
From what week is it ideal to sit like this?! Also can I sit on a birthing ball instead of my chair to force me sitting upright? I got an office job..being sitted like this about 8hrs a day!!!
So basically don't sit down bc it's not going to be comfortable.lol.
Traditionally in Indian toilets we had no option but to sit in that squat position for all our business. I have never known of C Sections in my grandparents generations or among my aunts (I have 9 direct aunts and about 50 aunts who are my mom's cousins or their wives and everyone had normal delivery for all their kids), older cousins, neighbors or other women around me. They had to sit in that position few times a day. But western toilets have rapidly replaced Indian style toilets in the past 10 years in all houses and I see some of my younger cousins wives having C Sections these days. I know lifestyle changes have contributed too but I strongly believe one of the strong reasons are these toilet positions.
Is it ok to sit cross-legged?
ps. I love all the work that you do!
Should this sitting be followed throughout Pregnancy?
I must say I agree with the tailbone portion of the video. My first child I sat on my tailbone a lot and even post-baby five years later I have coccydynia and I have to get steroid injections once a year. I'm currently 12 weeks along with twins and I'm trying to sit slightly more forward as she demonstrated
I cannot imagine sitting on a ball at work or at home 😀 Also, cannot imagine crossing my legs, it's so uncomfortable and I am only 18 weeks along.
Amazing insights. Thanks
