Walking during pregnancy has many benefits for pregnant women, such as improving blood circulation, helping fetal development, and reducing discomfort during pregnancy. However, not all pregnant women are suitable for pregnancy walking, especially when the following three symptoms occur, pregnant mothers need to pay more attention.
1. The benefits of walking during pregnancy.
Promote blood circulation: Walking during pregnancy can promote blood circulation and help the growth and development of the fetus. At the same time, walking can also help pregnant women prevent and alleviate complications such as hypertension and diabetes during pregnancy.
Supports fetal development: Walking during pregnancy stimulates the baby's nervous system and motor system, which helps the fetus develop. In addition, walking allows pregnant women to breathe in more fresh air and provide more oxygen to the fetus.
Reduce pregnancy discomfort: Walking during pregnancy can relieve fatigue, back pain, constipation and other uncomfortable symptoms of pregnant women, and can also relax pregnant women's mood and relieve anxiety and depression.
2. It is not suitable for walking during pregnancy.
Abnormal placental position: If the pregnant woman has abnormal placental position, such as placenta previa, it is not suitable to take a walk during pregnancy. Because walking can increase the abdominal pressure in pregnant women, leading to an increased risk of bleeding and preterm birth.
Gestational hypertension or diabetes: If a pregnant woman has a medical condition such as gestational hypertension or diabetes, she needs to take more rest to control her condition. In this case, walking during pregnancy may aggravate the condition and be detrimental to the health of the pregnant woman and the development of the fetus.
Multiple pregnancies: If you are pregnant with multiple pregnancies, such as twins or triplets, it is not appropriate to take a pregnancy walk. Because multiple pregnancies can easily lead to problems such as fatigue, an oversized belly, and an unstable center of gravity, walking can easily lead to premature birth and other complications.
3. How to pay attention to the safety of walking during pregnancy.
Choose the right location: Pregnant women should choose the right place when taking a walk during pregnancy, such as a park, square, and other spacious, flat, and fresh air. At the same time, pregnant women should also avoid walking in dangerous areas such as road edges and potholes.
Maintain a steady pace: Pregnant women should maintain a steady pace when walking during pregnancy and not walk too fast or too quickly to avoid falling or injuring themselves. At the same time, pregnant women should also avoid doing some strenuous exercises, such as running, jumping, etc.
Wear comfortable shoes: Pregnant women should wear comfortable shoes when walking during pregnancy to reduce the pressure on their feet. At the same time, pregnant women should also avoid wearing inappropriate shoes such as high heels or slippers.
Avoid overexertion: Pregnant women should avoid overexertion when walking during pregnancy to avoid physical discomfort or adverse effects on the fetus. It is recommended that pregnant women control the time of each walk to about 20-30 minutes, and adjust it appropriately according to their own conditions.
Maintain a good mood: Pregnant women should maintain a good mood when walking during pregnancy, relax and relieve anxiety and depression. At the same time, pregnant women should also interact and communicate with the fetus to feel the fetus's responses and changes.
In conclusion, there are many benefits to pregnancy walking for both the mother and the baby, but not all pregnant women are suitable for pregnancy walking. Pregnant women with the above three symptoms should pay more attention and avoid overwork and risky behaviors. At the same time, pregnant women should also pay attention to choosing the right place, maintaining a steady pace, wearing comfortable shoes, avoiding overwork and maintaining a happy mood to ensure the health and safety of themselves and their fetuses.
