Fact Check: Does sweeping and mopping the housework during pregnancy lead to normal delivery?
Today our question is whether working more or exercising during pregnancy leads to normal delivery? Let’s find out the truth behind this. It is often said that a woman is complete only when she becomes a mother. The entire journey of becoming a mother is very unique in itself. There are many hormonal changes in a woman’s body. Due to which many changes take place in the body.
During pregnancy, a woman undergoes both physical and mental changes. The first 4-5 months pass well but the last few months are difficult. Often women worry whether they will have a normal delivery or not and whether they will have to undergo a C-section. Doctors also recommend exercising in the last few months but we will discuss in detail whether one should do household chores or not.
Walking is considered good during pregnancy but do not use any kind of machine to exercise. Walking during pregnancy is very good for health. Walking is a cardiovascular exercise, which keeps the body away from morning sickness, constipation and vomiting during pregnancy.
Sitting and mopping is dangerous
People often say that mopping the floor while sitting leads to normal delivery. Let us tell you that this is completely a myth. Health experts say that one should not mop the floor while sitting during the last month of pregnancy because after the eighth month, the child’s head starts coming into the pelvis.
Do exercise instead of sitting and mopping and sweeping
It is better to do exercise during pregnancy instead of sitting and mopping and sweeping. Exercise can be beneficial for a healthy pregnancy and safe delivery. But too much workout is not right. You can do easy exercises. So you can walk and do Anulom Vilom Pranayam.
Do this to keep the body active during pregnancy
If you want to keep your body active during pregnancy, then do the exercises prescribed by the doctor. It would be best for you to walk. But do not start any exercise on your own or on someone else’s advice. This has a bad effect on the baby growing in the womb.
