Fencing is dangerous during pregnancy… Know what health experts say?
According to a report published in the Indian Express, Dr. Priyanka Suhag, consultant, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, CK Birla Hospital (R), Delhi, said that participating in combat sports like fencing during pregnancy has many serious health concerns. Dr. Suhag said that the biggest concern is that the abdomen can also be injured, which can result in dangerous side effects like placental abruption, premature delivery or injury to the fetus.
In this sport, the possibility of falling or colliding is quite high, and fast movements further increase the risk. If a pregnant woman has decided that she wants to play, then she has to follow certain precautions. To reduce the risk, it is important to modify the level of speed and strategy. For example, it is very important to avoid hard strikes or physically difficult movements. During this time, the doctor should completely ensure the health of the mother and the fetus. Also, take a healthy diet and drink lots of water. Only then can you participate in this sport.
Safety clothing should be used to protect the abdomen. It is also important to keep an eye on any signs of pain, dizziness or contractions. Some physical activities may be helpful during pregnancy, but the risks associated with combat sports often outweigh the benefits. Playing this sport is allowed only after considering the safety of the mother and baby.
