In late pregnancy, many expectant mothers are surrounded by various "midwifery rumors" enthusiastically offered by kind-hearted people, such as climbing stairs, mopping floors, etc. So what is the truth? Let the butler tell everyone!
Rumor 1: Climbing stairs can help babies enter the womb
Answer: Climbing stairs can indeed help babies get into the pot. If you persist in doing appropriate exercise throughout the entire pregnancy, it will be of great benefit to both the mother and the baby. Of course, light exercises such as walking that are more suitable for postpartum women can also help the baby get into the womb.
Tips: Exercise should be done gradually before and after childbirth
The key to regular exercise is perseverance, but during labor, it is not recommended for expectant mothers to climb stairs alone to prevent accidents; In addition, do not engage in high-intensity exercise too early after childbirth to avoid affecting pelvic recovery.
Rumor 2: Floor mopping can help with childbirth
Answer: This statement has no scientific basis. Doing some household chores during pregnancy can help expectant mothers manage their weight. But doing floor mopping during labor is meaningless.
Tips: Prepare for a smooth delivery
Expectant mothers should regularly practice childbirth breathing techniques. Childbirth breathing is a breathing technique that can effectively relieve labor pains. If it can be trained during regular practice, it is easier to master and use it properly during labor.
Rumor 3: Eating hairy crabs can induce labor
Answer: hairy crabs are cold in nature, and eating too much can cause diarrhea, which in turn may cause uterine contractions, hence the saying that eating hairy crabs can induce labor. But the butler never recommends using this method to induce labor. Imagine, eating hairy crabs can easily cause diarrhea, how can one concentrate and give birth to a baby smoothly?
Tips: Foods that truly have the effect of inducing labor include oats, cottonseed oil, chives, seaweed, and meat free foods. Among them, oats have a significant inducing effect; Some components contained in cottonseed oil and chives have the effect of stimulating the uterus and increasing the contraction of uterine smooth muscle; Kelp and rabbit meat are cold in nature, and excessive consumption can easily damage the vitality of the fetus, leading to restless fetal movements. Therefore, excessive consumption is also not recommended.
