The lazier the pregnant woman, the less effort she can exert during childbirth, and the longer the delivery time will be. It should be noted that the longer the delivery time, the more unfavorable it is for the pregnant woman and the fetus in her belly. Therefore, it is still necessary to do some exercise appropriately during pregnancy. So how do pregnant women exercise their pelvic muscles?
There are many ways to exercise the pelvic floor muscles. The first method is very simple, and it can be done while standing or sleeping. It is recommended that pregnant women contract the skin around the genital area for about ten seconds. After that, slowly relax and then contract the skin again. Repeat this process about 25 times.
There is another way, which is also very easy to operate. Pregnant women first lie on a yoga mat, try to keep their bodies flat, then extend their two legs, slightly lift them up, and also slightly lift their two arms, including their upper body. Hold this position for 30 seconds, then lower it, and repeat this action.
Expectant mothers should do these movements earlier and not wait until they are about to give birth. It is important to note that muscles are not easily stretched or adjusted during this time. The earlier you do it, the better it can exercise the pelvic muscles, making it easier to give birth and finding a comfortable position for delivery.
