In the late stage of pregnancy, if the due date is approaching but there is still no movement in the abdomen, doctors will recommend that pregnant women exercise more to accelerate the opening of the cervix and achieve the effect of fertility. Is it possible to use a yoga ball for fertility at 39 weeks of pregnancy?
Shaking yoga balls is a relatively effective method for promoting pregnancy in late pregnancy. However, pregnant women should pay attention to:
One is to try not to let the yoga ball touch the abdomen as much as possible. Although the texture of the yoga ball is relatively light, the buffering force when it is lifted and its own gravity are not small. If it touches the abdomen, it may cause a significant impact and even harm the fetus.
Secondly, the time for shaking the yoga ball should not be too long. Shaking yoga balls is quite physically demanding, and if pregnant women expend too much energy, it can lead to hypoxia in the fetus. Therefore, when shaking yoga balls, pregnant women should do so in moderation, generally not exceeding 15 minutes of shaking time per day.
Thirdly, if there is a problem of broken amniotic fluid or redness, do not shake the yoga ball again. Shaking the yoga ball will accelerate the flow of amniotic fluid. If too much amniotic fluid is lost, it will cause too much friction during childbirth, which is not conducive to vaginal delivery. And if the baby stays in a uterus without amniotic fluid for a long time, it can be dangerous.
In addition, activities such as climbing stairs and walking are also helpful in inducing labor. Pregnant women can choose the appropriate method of inducing labor according to their physical condition.
