For a pregnant woman, the most important thing is to take good care of her body and wait for her baby to give birth safely. However, nowadays there are many pregnant women who can't sit still every day and often do some household chores, and even exercise. In fact, it is understandable for pregnant women to do physical work within their capabilities, but they should never do heavy physical work. So what is heavy physical work for pregnant women?
The reason why pregnant women should not do heavy physical work is mainly because pregnant women are likely to experience abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, and even miscarriage during the process of doing heavy physical work. Therefore, it is important to take it seriously. The heavy physical labor that is generally not suitable for pregnant women mainly includes hand washing bed sheets and bedding, lifting heavy objects, and moving large boxes.
If pregnant women are really restless, they can still do some light household chores, such as sweeping the floor, wiping tables, etc. However, it is important to note that the time spent on household chores should not be too long, otherwise it will easily cause fatigue. If pregnant women overwork, it will not only affect their physical health, but more importantly, it will also affect the development of the fetus. It is recommended that pregnant women do household chores for no more than 10 minutes.
In addition, pregnant women should pay attention not to go outdoors as much as possible. If they want to take outdoor walks to exercise, it is best to ask their family to accompany them to avoid being unable to respond in a timely manner when encountering unexpected situations outdoors.
