2nd trimester and bending to pick things up from floor 10 times a day. Does it affect fetus?

Will bending everyday (due to household chores) affect fetus?

Do it slowly and gently... if you are too fast, you might hurt your back or get a fainting spell... Pregnant lady like us need to move more graciously 😅 As our body need to care and support 2 or more lives now😎 Take good care and God bless you and baby!

Thank you so much! I absolutely agree I have to learn to move more graciously now 😆

Hey mama! First congratulations! Second, I’m so glad that you’re so active! Third, it depends on how you bend to pick things. It’s better if you go into a squat than if you bend at the hip. If you feel a little light headed, go slow.

Your fetus is safe in the amniotic fluid and it actually moves when you bend so there's nothing to worry about but do try to squat instead of bending cos afraid it will strain your back.

try not to do it often as there is higher possibility to hurt the back.. if really need to, bend down slowly and hold your back whole bending

slowly, and gently should be fine

I always do it very slowly.
